Jesus said, "I have come in order that you may have life - life in all its fullness."

                                                                                John 10:10

Christian Value

Our focus for this half term is RESPECT. We will be adding to our Values tab how we are exploring how that looks in our school and how we can live it out in our lives, as Jesus taught us to.

“So whatever you wish that others would do to you, do also to them, for this is the Law and the Prophets.”

                                                                                                                                                 Matthew 7:12

Two Sons and a Father

The prodigal son is a story Jesus told people when he was on earth. It's all about how much God loves us. You can find the story in Luke 15:11-32. This is also a story of how to respect and how not to respect your family.

Religious Education

Our RE enriches all of our learning. This term, we are looking at the question...

WHAT CAN WE DO TO REDUCE RACISM?

Keep a lookout for the work and reflections we will be creating during this unit this term.

Homework in Year 6

Homework will be set every week.

Children will be expected to complete their reading, weekly spellings and times tables activities.  

This will support their progress throughout the year in literacy and numeracy.  

In addition to this, children will have homework which is linked to our current Learning Challenge. 

Children will be able to earn points for each activity they complete, working towards a target and earning a prize when their target is reached. 

We love to read.....

Children will have their own reading books to take home. We look forward to seeing your progress on our Reading Rocks chart.

Children in Year 6 enjoy Cracking Comprehension sessions where you can develop your reading and comprehension skills.

We will be reading a class book - This term, we are reading a fiction novel by Michael Morpurgo.

We have a well resourced school library where the children are allowed to select a book. 

There is also a reading corner in the classroom with designated slots when the children can enjoy a quiet read.

Our class reading book this term is...

This is a wonderful desert-island adventure, and a subtle observation of friendship, trust and humanity. 

We will be linking many of our reading and writing lessons to this text.

Year 6 learnt about the importance of internet safety. We know it is important to keep safe when online and be SMART. Here is a video of us performing an internet safety rap song!

We had a very exciting visit from Stockport County Football Club. They shared history about the club and we met the club mascot 'Vernon Bear'. The Stockport County striker Macauley Southam-Hales also came and told us about how he lives a healthy lifestyle to maintain being a top professional football player.
