Class 6 2021 - 2022

Welcome to Class 6

Happy New Year!

I hope that you all had a fabulous Christmas and are ready to kick start the year with a bang! This term we welcome Mrs Chadwick as part of the Year 6 team - we are very excited to have her in class! The children all worked incredibly hard last term and are making brilliant progress, I know their resilience, teamwork and hunger for challenge will ensure this continues into the new year. This term, Year 6 will be beginning to apply all of their knowledge learnt throughout primary school to prepare for end of KS2 assessments. Despite these being in May, we want the children to be as prepared as possible therefore, we will be focussing more on exam-style questioning in reading, maths and grammar and showing the children how to link their learning from lessons to test-style papers. In writing, we will continue to use 'Trash' by Andy Mulligan as a stimulus for writing and cover some non-fiction genres including: newspaper reports and balanced arguments. 

The children will be still swimming every Thursday morning and will be having sessions with SRDF on Tuesday afternoons. We also continue to use the STEM-style teaching approach to science and cannot wait to get started on our project for this term - evolution.

In line with whole school COVID safety measures, all parent-teacher communication will continue to be done via email or over the phone. If you wish to discuss anything regarding your child's learning, please email h.churchman@abbott.manchesters.sch.uk 

You will receive a response as soon as possible. Alternatively, you can call the school office on: 0161 834 9529 

Kind regards

Miss Churchman
