St Francis Class (Year 6)
Welcome!
Mission Statement
As St. Francis Class, we promise to live each day guided by the Gospel values. We will show kindness to one another, treating everyone with dignity and respect. We will strive to be people of integrity, speaking the truth and acting with fairness. We will forgive when mistakes are made and support each other, without argument, with compassion and hope.
We live out our faith by following Jesus' example, being peacemakers in our school and community, abiding by His golden rule (John 13:34-35). We will work together for the common good, making sure everyone has the chance to take part and be included. We will stand in solidarity with those in need and take care of God's creation through good stewardship.
As leaders of our school, we commit ourselves to be role models, showing resilience, responsibility and courage. With God at the centre of all that we do, we will strive to make this year one of growth, joy and service.
Welcome back Year 6 team.
Welcome back after the Easter break – myself and Mrs. Law hope that you had a relaxing couple of weeks, whatever you did and wherever you went.
The 2024 National Curriculum Assessments (also known as SATs) will take place this term in the week beginning Monday 11th May.
We will begin to build, customise and test our St. Benedict’s Go-Kart in time for race day which is Sunday the 28th of June. More details to follow.
In English, we will finish our focus on ‘Journey to the River Sea’ by writing dialogue and creating newspaper reports. We will then move onto our new text ‘Rooftoppers’ where we will be using it to support our writing of stories.
In Maths, we will study various aspects of geometry and revise all that we have covered.
After finishing our Micro-organisms topic, our Science focus will switch to ‘Evolution and Inheritance’ where we will be considering: plant and animal adaptation; how fossils help us understand evolution; the concept of natural selection; offspring and genetics.
Our Geography unit will focus on ‘thinking geographically about our local area’ through considering the question: What are the challenges and opportunities related to infrastructure in Medway?
PE this term is football and rounders, and will take place outside on Monday and Friday afternoons. Please ensure that your children arrive at school on these mornings with their full PE kit.
As usual, should you have any queries or concerns, please contact the office and I will respond accordingly.
Many thanks.
