Year 6
Welcome to Vultures Class
Mrs Hunter, Mr Ridgway, Mrs Pillar
Quest
Our Autumn Term quest is 'Heroes and Villains.' Throughout the quest we will be thinking about what makes a true hero and what makes a true villain. In our quest we will be looking forward to some BIG BANG moments including our trip to Engage Water Sports, becoming personal heroes in our first aid courses and the opportunity to explore what real-life heroes experienced during a trench experience.
Below is a curriculum overview of the exciting learning Vultures will be doing during our Heroes and Villain's quest.

Our Class Charter
During transition day Mr Ridgway asked the children to select five adjectives from a Wordle that they would like to describe their time in Year 6. We then collated these adjectives to form our charter:
Homework
Year 6 pupils receive homework on a Tuesday and a Friday each week. The homework and the due date will be recorded in their planners.
Usually:
Homework given out on a Tuesday is handed in on a Friday.
and
Homework given out on a Friday is handed in on a Tuesday.
Pupils will also receive spellings on a Monday. These spellings will correspond to a spelling objective that is being taught in class that week. This spelling objective will then be tested the following Monday.
PE
PE is on Mondays and Wednesdays. Please ensure that your child wears their PE kit to school on these days.
