Summer Term
We are delighted to welcome you all back to Y6.
We have a very busy and exciting term ahead of us, and we look forward to meeting you all throughout the year.
The year group is divided into 3 classes:
6D taught by Mr Land and is supported by Mrs Greenway
6L taught by Mr Lane and is supported by Miss South
6SB Mrs Sampson and supported by Mrs Haynes and Mrs Gibson
Welcome back to a very busy term! We hope you (and your children) are all
relaxed and ready for the challenges of the new term – your children’s last at Trinity! Our overarching topic is ‘Kensuke’s Kingdom’ (Michael Morpurgo), and will involve elements of geographical and historical study.
Tests (and Thank You):
We really appreciate the efforts that your children have already put into their preparation for their SATs. In addition, we are very grateful for the support of the parents in assisting and facilitating the children’s revision process. We are nearly there now, so your continued support for the five weeks after Easter will be really appreciated. During the actual test week, we urge children to have an early night, and have a healthy breakfast. To enable this, we will be running a ‘breakfast café’ from 8.40, where we invite the children in to the hall (come through the gates at the usual time) to have a breakfast snack and a calm and settled start to the morning. If your child is unfortunately ill during SATs week, we request that they still come in to take the test (they can then be collected to be taken home immediately afterwards). If you have any concerns, please contact us.
Summer Term Curriculum:
This half-term, we will be reading ‘Kensuke’s Kingdom’ in class, and using this as source material for our writing. We shall also explore some poetry. In science, we will be learning that ‘Everything Changes’ in our exploration of evolution and adaptations. In History. we will be learning about The Battle of Britain. In addition, our RHSE topics shall be ‘Healthy Me’ followed by ‘Dreams and Goals’. We will also start to put together the Year 6 Leavers’ Production. Parts will be auditioned for, and allocated around, half term, and spoken parts will receive their lines for learning during the May/June half term break. Also, this term, we will be fundraising through the ‘Make £5 grow’ where each small group receives £5 to plan a business enterprise, culminating in running their own stall at a special school event. Further details will be given nearer the time.
P.E. and Swimming
P.E kits can be worn to school on PE days. Kit consists of black shorts, white t-shirt (with or without the school logo) and trainers. Y6 will continue to have their PE sessions on a Tuesday and a Thursday.
Your child will need to wear their PE kit to school on those days unless they are swimming, in which case they will bring their swimming kit in and wear school uniform as usual.
6D will be swimming for the term. Please make sure they have their swimming kit in every Tuesday. Their lessons will begin on Tuesday 09th April.
Bristol Residential:
We are fast approaching the June residential to Bristol. Please ensure that you are up-to-date with the payment schedule. If you are experiencing any difficulties, please come and speak to a member of staff. We will be holding a meeting on Wednesday 4th June at 16:30 to discuss this trip.
If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to ask!
