Autumn Term 2026/27

Mr Whiffing, Mrs Quinn & Mrs Seddon

Welcome to Class Six!

We hope you all had a wonderful summer holiday and had time to rest and relax. We hope you enjoyed time with family and friends and that you found a little bit of time to enjoy the weather and be outside. We have lots of different activities to complete and I am sure we will all have an amazing time.

For our English focus this term, we will be building our learning around a high quality text entitled 'Star of fear, star of hope.' This is a thought-provoking book set in WW2 and will link closely with our history topic based around the same theme.

In Maths, we will be focusing on securing our knowledge in the four basic calculations as well as working on fractions, decimals and percentages. 

Our RE for this term focuses on 'Loving'. In this unit, the children will learn that life is a gift and that God's love in unconditional. 

Science learning will focus on classifying living things and there will be lots of opportunity for hands-on, practical experiments and fun! Our first Art topic of the term focuses on drawing and expressing ideas, which will give the children lots of opportunities to express themselves on paper! 

I am sure we will have a wonderful term and always remember, if you have any questions or queries, our door is always open.

Many thanks for your support. Continue to stay safe and smile!

Our class webpage will be updated throughout the year to inform you of any important information and changes.

P.E. in Class Six will take place on a Thursday and a Friday Please ensure your child comes to school wearing their P.E. kit. Your child can wear their school jumper or cardigan as well as a coat over the top of their P.E. kit. In cold weather please allow your child to wear tracksuit bottoms if needed. If your child suffers from veruccas please ensure they have pumps or it is covered up adequately if the P.E. session is indoors as trainers and socks will be taken off.

Homework in Class Six will take place throughout the week. Children are also expected to read and we suggest at least 10 minutes a day if at all possible.

We highly encourage all children to bring in a water bottle to school every day. Castlerigg cookies are available every Wednesday morning break time for 40 pence. Toast will also be sold on a Friday morning for 30 pence. If your child would like to purchase any of these items they should bring in the required money on each day and keep it safely in their tray.

We look forward to an amazing year in Class Six! If you have any questions, concerns or require any further information please ask, our door is always open.
