6R Class Page
Welcome to 6R! The adults in our room are Mrs Reddy, Mrs Saban and Mrs Helme. On Friday morning, the children are taught by Mr Hyde.
Key information:
- We expect our children to read every night and the children will receive a special treat at the end of half term.
- We would like spellings to be practised frequently and the children to practise their times tables on TT Rockstars.
- Please make sure you have your PE kits for Tuesday and Friday.
If you ever have any concerns or questions, do not hesitate to come and see us!
AUTUMN 1: Glorious Greeks
We have learnt about Ancient Greece. Here are some pictures of our learning. We made a greek salad on our Greek day where some children dressed up. 
Autumn 2
We looked at World War Two. We looked at the impact on people’s lives in Britain. We also went to Windermere to explore the evacuees from Auswitz.
Spring 1
We have looked at Power this half term. We went to Heysham Power Station and learnt lots about the source of energy as well as having a tour of the station.
Spring 2
We are now looking at Survival! We have learnt about about the evolution of plants and animals and how they survive in their environments. We looked at the continents and climates of each region. We had a visitor from Lancaster University, who had been to the South Pole and then children wrote a non-chronological report about the South Pole. The children have been working very hard in the lead up to SATs.
Summer 1
We are revising ready for the tests in the week beginning 8th May. Children have additional resources they can access on Google Classroom and from their teacher.
Learning if school closes
Dear all
This is where any worksheets, notes and website links will be posted for different year groups should the school be asked to close in light of the Covid-19 outbreak. We will try and keep this updated regularly, but please bear with us as we all try and keep on top of things. Links to year groups specific learning are at the bottom of the page but please look at all of the links below as they may be suitable for your children.
We cannot take responsibility for any links that take you away from our school website so please be aware that you follow these links at your own choice.
Please find below a list of some of the websites offering free or trial periods of their resources. They have been broken down into different subjects but often websites do in fact cover the whole curriculum. None of these websites require payment to access so some of the obvious platforms haven’t been included. Some do require you to log in or create a free account to access.
