Year 6: Asteroid class
Meet the team:
Mr N Rourke (Class Teacher)
Mrs Van Jaarsveld (Teaching Assistant)
Our Learning
During this term, we will be looking at preservation, hygiene and food preparation, through our new topic of 'Food Glorious Food'. As well as preparing a delicious meal, we will also be conducting a scientific experiment and looking at various techniques to cut food safely. Within PSHE, we will be further developing our understanding of relationships, changes in our body during puberty and how babies are made.
Year 6 will also be exploring the changes ahead and the upcoming transition into secondary school.
Important class information
PE Days: Tuesdays and Fridays. Children need to come to school wearing their PE kit.
Reading Books: reading books will be changed Monday through to Thursday.
Reading: Please continue to listen to your child read daily, even for 10 minutes, and encourage them to complete the reading task in the reading journal. Books should be changed regularly.
Times Tables: It is important all pupils are learning (and continue to practice) the timetables up to the 12 times table. These should be known by the end of year 4, but it is essential that the children continue to practice and recall these facts.
