As we step into this new term, we are thrilled to share a wealth of engaging learning opportunities that will ignite the curiosity and creativity of our young learners! This term, our writing will centre around the captivating story of The London Eye Mystery. They will delve deep into the narrative, crafting their own letters, instructions, and vivid setting descriptions inspired by the book.

In History, we will turn our focus to local history, examining the profound significance of the railway in Doncaster. Year 6 will investigate how the expansion of the railway transformed the lives of local residents, creating new jobs and leisure opportunities. They will learn about influential figures, such as Sir Nigel Gresley and understand their historical importance.

In Geography, our enquiry will span trade and economics, where children will explore the key differences between developed and developing countries. They will gain insights into international trade, identifying goods that are imported into the UK—such as coffee and bananas—alongside notable exports, like whisky and aircraft parts.

Our science curriculum will delve into the circulatory system, where they will learn about the heart's vital role in pumping blood throughout the body. They will trace the journey of blood, enhancing their understanding of human biology.

In Physical Education, we are excited to develop skills in tennis and cricket. Learn effective strategies, improve their technique, and build teamwork and leadership skills through active participation.

This term also marks an important time for our Year 6 students as they prepare for their SATs. We will ensure they have the support and resources needed to approach these assessments with confidence, encouraging their best effort.
