Welcome to Class 6!

Croeso i Dosbarth Chwech!

Our current inquiry is:

We Can Rule The World!

AOLE Focus: Humanities 

Below is our Inquiry overview for our current topic. 

The outdoor environment will be used to develop physical health, well-being and team building skills. We aim to carry out 'Muddy Monday' sessions, every fortnight. We will send a schoolcomms reminder for each session and will inform you of any changes to dates. Pupils are asked to wear old/ suitable clothes to school and to bring wellies or old shoes to school in a labelled bag.

Our Sessions this term are:

Monday 29^th April

Monday 20^th May

Monday 17^th June

Monday 1^st July

We will continue to use a blended learning approach in class and Google Classroom will be used to allow the children to develop their independence when presenting their work and researching.

Homework

Homework is set on Google classroom every Wednesday and is to be returned by the following Monday. Tasks will be linked to our class inquiry/ literacy and numeracy tasks and set after discussion with the pupils. Work should be recorded on Google Classroom and pupils should make every effort to complete their work with care, good presentation and they are expected to work as independently as possible. 

Should you experience difficulties with Google Classroom/ homework, please speak to Mrs Evans.

Reading

Reading books need to be brought into school daily to ensure that pupils can access them on a regular basis. We will continue to use Guided Group Reading sessions in class each week to continue to develop our reading and comprehension skills.

Please encourage your child to develop good reading habits by reading regularly at home. Pupils should read a variety of texts including fiction and non-fiction, and joining the local library will offer a wider range of books.

We continue to use Oxford Reading Buddy, a digital reading service, to provide a wider selection of books for our children to read. Sign-in cards have been sent home and the site can be accessed on most devices. As well as reading books, the site develops comprehension skills through fun quizzes and offers badges/ rewards on completion. Once again, please use this website to promote wider reading at home.
