Year 6
Welcome to year 6
The year 6 team for 2022/23 consists of Miss Horsfall (6M), Miss Gudgeon (6N) and our teaching assistants are Mrs Dhami and Mr Baker (6M) and Mrs Nathwania (6N).
PE lessons take place on Wednesdays and Thursdays. Homework is set for both classes each Friday.
The children will be travelling to the other side of the world as they read Michael Murpurgo's epic story: Kensuke's Kingdom. This dramatic narrative will give the children the opportunity to imagine what life would be like when stranded on an unknown island.
In their geography lessons, the children will be researching why planet Earth is both an incredibly wonderful place to live as well as dangerous! They will be discovering how different natural disasters occur, and the effects that they have on both the natural and manmade world.
