Information about the first half term.

Well, we made to the Summer Holidays and I just wanted to say thank you to the best class I've ever taught (probably!)

We've had some great times together and you all worked really hard for me.

Thank you for your lovely gifts and cards - they were amazing!

Find out all about our day in Year 6!

Congratulations!

We've made it to half term, and the sun has come out in time for us all to enjoy a well-earned rest.

Hawking Class have had a busy term and have learned lots about farming - both here in the UK and around Keyworth and wider afield in South America and the United States.

Next term, our topic focus turns to Ancient Egypt and the "Awful Egyptians" for History. In Science, we will be looking at "Animals Including Humans" - a Biology topic which focusses on the human life cycle (please see my last blog about JIGSAW for more information on the content that we will be covering).  More information about other curriculum areas will be in my next blog at the start of Summer 2.

Swimming has now finished so the children will need PE kits as usual on Mondays, but now also on Thursdays. Can I please remind you that a PE kit is a complete change of clothing. We are now in the Summer Term, and for health and hygiene reasons, the children will not be allowed to participate in PE lessons unless they have a kit (T-shirt and shorts - no strappy tops please) to change into.

Well done for getting to Friday.

Hawking Class have had a busy week this week. We've spent time pouring over Ordnance Survey Maps of the area around Keyworth, searching for farms as part of our Farming Topic. We found lots! Then we looked at the topography to try and work out what type of farms they were. Ask your child about pastoral farming, arable farming and mixed farming: they know lots!

In Science, we've looked at the terms soluble and insoluble and experimented with solids and water to find out which were solids soluble and which weren't. Ask your children which solids dissolved and which didn't.
