Year 6
Welcome to Year 6!
Year 6 is an exciting, challenging and fast-paced environment: we are always busy! Our most important job is getting you Year 7 ready, so we focus on independence (particularly getting yourself organised) and resilience. Because of this, we have high expectations for your work in class as well as your home learning.
Our timetable stays very broad, so you will continue to receive lessons in all of your favourite subjects. We have some excellent topics planned; for example: learning about climate change in geography; investigating the period leading up to World War 2 in history and learning about the circulatory system in science.
Let's have a fantastic year!
Mr. Smith and Mrs. Gibbins
