Welcome to Silver Birch Class

Welcome Back Lovely Year 6!

This term our topic is The Victorians. In History we will  we will be focusing on the life and experiences of a child in the Victorian era before going onto study the industrial revolution and how it affected the lives of ordinary people. In Science we will be studying Evolution and Inheritance and relating this to our study of The Creation in RE. 

In English we will be beginning with the poem Moth by Isabel Thomas before reading our class text Cogheart by Peter Bunzl. We will write recounts, explanation texts and narrative texts based on our reading. In RE we will be looking at the Creation story and comparing religious views with the scientific facts. In Art we will be printing to make William Morris style designs. The curriculum overview below has all the detail in for all subjects. Please make sure you check this at the beginning of each term. Your spellings are listed for each week below- please make sure you practise these each day. 

The homework will be given out each Friday and handed in by the following Wednesday- please make sure that you complete this as well as your daily spelling and reading (30 minutes).

Don't forget to keep your Mental Maths skills sharp on TTRS or Hit The Button. I would also like you to review the Year 5/6 spelling list below and see which spellings you need to practise when you come back.
