Welcome to our class home page for our Year Six pupils, parents and carers. We hope you had a relaxing break and are ready for our Summer Term together at The Oaks Community Primary School. As you can see from above, we have school trips alongside fantastic daily teaching and learning. Our pupils will complete many successful learning outcomes, sharing activities with our community and continue to be ready to learn, respectful and responsible to all within our school community. We are looking forward to teaching and learning with you during this term together at The Oaks Community Primary School. During this half term, we will be continuing to develop our learning skills which will include: building your independence, exploration and inquiry skills to complete learning activities to our expected high standards and deepening our class philosophy of ‘I am, I have, I can’.
English
| Over this term we will be using a variety of rich texts across the curriculum in writing and these will be used as a deep dive – linking our reading activities and written work across the curriculum. This will begin with a Read to Write unit titled – Shackleton’s Journey written by William Grill.
The writing outcomes will be achieved through writing an endurance narrative and a magazine article. Further to this cross curricular learning opportunities will be within our Steps to Read activities. This will give pupils the opportunity to increase vocabulary, learn strategies and skills within the curriculum driver Geography with a focus on Coasts. |
