Term 6, Week 1

Welcome back, everyone! I hope you had a lovely break. Term 6 is here, and Year 6 are already in high spirits preparing for our performance of Oliver!—we cannot wait to see it!

This term, our topic is ‘The Holiday Show’, where our learning will revolve around holidays, tourism, and the geography of popular destinations.

On Tuesday, we transformed the classroom into a beach! It was a wonderful lesson where we discussed all the things we might find on the shore. This sparked some great conversations about pollution, the environment, and family outings by the sea. We used this opportunity to describe our ideal beaches and introduced the class to Flotsam, a fantastic wordless book that will inspire our English learning this term.

In Maths, Year 6 are balancing rehearsals for Oliver! with practising their problem-solving and reasoning skills, while Year 5 have been investigating how to add decimals to three decimal places.

In Computing, we’ve started exploring the basics of website creation and the difference between the internet and a website, with plans to use HTML to build our own travel websites soon.

In Geography, we’re looking at tourism—discussing its importance, as well as its drawbacks. Meanwhile, in PSHE, we’re learning about Economic Well-Being and managing money, which is crucial for Year 6 as they prepare for their next chapter.

On Thursdays, we’ll be honing our athletics skills in preparation for Sports Day on Monday 30th June, and Fridays we are enjoying Handball, a fun alternative to football.

A big thank you to everyone who attended our last class assembly of the year and Year 6's last one at Park Way Primary School! We appreciate your continued support.

Please remember to ensure your child is wearing the correct uniform.

Have a lovely weekend!

Best,
Mr Bowles, Mrs Morris, Miss Rackley, and Ms Prentice.
