Welcome to Class 18!
Class 18 are a team! We are all unique but our goal is the same- to become outstanding citizens of the future. We aim to try our best in all we do and to fulfil our potential, whilst making memories along the way.
Mrs Foxton is class-teacher Monday-Thursday morning, with Mrs Lilleker stepping in on Thursday afternoon and Friday. Our door is always open and you can discuss anything with us, whether in be learning-related or something else. Please utilise our year group email: THPYear6@NCLT.ac.uk
P.E.
Kits to be in school at all times but our PE days will be Mondays and Fridays.
Homework
Homework is set weekly on a Friday and is due in the following Friday. Spellings are sent home weekly. Pages from English and Maths CGP books will be sent home weekly.
Spelling
Every Friday spellings are collected, tested and a new set will be sent home. You will find these in our school planners. It is very important that spellings are practised and transferred into writing. All children now have access to Spelling Frame, an online set of games and other fun ways to practise spellings for the Friday test.
Reading
In Class 18, we are all working hard to achieve our Reading Reward. To do this, we need to read at home as much as possible to get lots of Starbucks Reading tokens. To help your child earn their reading tokens, record this when you read with them at home. Please ensure that they read at least 3 times a week but remember…the more the better! Reading will be checked every Tuesday but school planners should be in school every day.
What we’ve been learning
Their Call of Duty … Their Finest Hour… Autumn Term
This term we will be learning all about World War 2 and the impact that it has had on society today. As part of our topic, the children will be learning about life during war time and imagining themselves as an evacuee, about rationing and why this was implemented and understanding the Blitz (to name just a few things!). We will also be looking at some more mature topics such as the holocaust which will allow the children to work on their discussion and empathy skills.
There will be lots of cross-curricular work taking place, particularly linked to English and Mathematics.
Step back in Crime
We will be focussing on the theme of Crime and Punishment from the Tudors to the 21st Century. This will start with an enquiry question based on Crime & Punishment and the following lessons will allow children to find further information in order to answer the enquiry question.
For our multi-cultural focus, we will also be learning all about the USA.
