Year 6 - Nightingale Class

Welcome to Nightingale Class. Our class teacher is Mrs Cole.

Welcome back everyone! I hope you all had an amazing summer holiday and are now ready to continue your learning journey in Year 6. We have lots of new and exciting learning and challenges this year to prepare you for your journey to secondary school and I am very excited to see how much progress you will make.

Enquiry Question - History

What was the impact of World War 2 on the people of Britain?

 Throughout this topic, we will be learning about how events during World War 2 impacted the civilians of Britain. We will discover what happened in the Battle of Britain and the Blitz. Why were children evacuated from their homes and how were the lives of women in Britain affected when men went to war? 

 

Reading

       

Our book this term is: Letters from the Lighthouse by Emma Carroll.

This is a wonderful story set in World War 2 in Britain and follows the story of some children that were evacuated to the Devon countryside from London. We look at the adventures they had living in a lighthouse and discover there is a mystery to be solved. 

Please encourage your child to read every day at home! Reading helps to improve writing and all areas of academic work.
