Year 6 have had an action-packed first half term. They have completed Bikeability training, taken on leadership roles across the school, developed geography skills about Mountains, experimented using electrical circuits, visited the Children’s Forest at Leasowe Woods, welcomed a visit from local magistrates to talk about British Values and an author, enjoyed a launch event for our new RE and Worldviews curriculum and ended with an amazing residential visit to North Wales.
PE is on a Tuesday and Thursday. A PE kit should be left in school and can be taken home to be washed at the end of each half term. Indoor PE kit consists of; black shorts, a white t-shirt or polo shirt, pumps, socks. Black jogging bottoms may be brought in for the winter. All items should be named.
Children should bring in a water bottle which they have access to in the classroom.
Children have been given a new reading folder and diary; this should be in school on a daily basis as volunteers may hear children read at any time.
