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 half term – myself and Mrs. Law hope that you had an enjoyable break.

With SATs on the horizon, it will be a crammed term in Year 6!

In English, we will continue with Journey to the River Sea as our base novel; exploring various writing outcomes; and in Maths, we will continue to study fractions, decimals and percentages alongside area, perimeter, volume and statistics. As well as this, we will be focusing on lots of reasoning as we apply our maths skills to practical situations.

In Science, we will continue to investigate the Linnean system of classification and various micro-organisms. Engineers will also be joining us in class as we begin to consider the application of our electricity knowledge to the construction of our Year 6 battery-powered Go-Kart. We plan to race this later in the school calendar against other schools.

We will also be continuing to explore South America and its rich history. Discussion will primarily focus on the mystery of the Maya. Through exploring different sources and artefacts, we will learn all about this ancient civilisation.

PE this term will be Kwik Cricket and Dance, and will take place on Monday and Friday afternoons. Please ensure that your children have their full PE kit.

Please also ask your children to continue to wear coats to school. Rain, cold winds and frost are still in the forecast!

Thank you for your continued support. If you have any further queries, please do not hesitate to contact me via the school office.
