Welcome to Class 6!

Autumn Term 2023/24

Mr Whiffing & Mrs Quinn

Welcome to Class Six!

We hope you all had a magnificent summer and are feeling refreshed and ready to go in Class Six. We have lots of different activities to complete and I am sure we will all have an amazing time.

Our theme for this autumn term is:

"Conflict and Resolution: Is it ever right to fight?"

In school we will be looking at a wonderful text called 'Star of Fear, Star of Hope' during our English sessions. We will be focusing on 'Light' within our science lessons. In our history lessons, we will dive in to the Battle of Britain during World War Two. This is a brilliant half term and will really allow your child to think and debate in many areas.

Important dates for this half term are:

Blackberry Picking: Thursday 7th September

I am sure we will have a wonderful term and always remember, if you have any questions or queries, our door is always open.

Many thanks for your support. Continue to stay safe and smile!

Our class webpage will be updated throughout the year to inform you of any important information and changes.

P.E. in Class Six will take place on a Tuesday and a Friday. Please ensure your child comes to school wearing their P.E. kit. Your child can wear their school jumper or cardigan as well as a coat over the top of their P.E. kit. In cold weather please allow your child to wear tracksuit bottoms if needed. If your child suffers from veruccas please ensure they have pumps or it is covered up adequately if the P.E. session is indoors as trainers and socks will be taken off.

Homework in Class Six will take place throughout the week. Children are also expected to read and we suggest at least 10 minutes a day if at all possible.

We highly encourage all children to bring in a water bottle to school every day. Castlerigg cookies are available every Wednesday morning break time for 40 pence. Toast will also be sold on a Friday morning for 20 pence. If your child would like to purchase any of these items they should bring in the required money on each day and keep it safely in their tray.

We look forward to an amazing year in Class Six! If you have any questions, concerns or require any further information please ask, our door is always open.
