Miss Warren (Year 6)
Welcome Message
Welcome to Gwaunfarren Year 6. The children’s final and most fabulous year! We have lots of lovely things planned this term and we are excited to share our learning journey with you.
Topic Overview
Our Autumn term theme is called "Encore." This is an Expressive Arts driven theme focusing on drama and a discipline of art. The purposeful passenger for this theme is Humanities.
Autumn Term at Gwaunfarren has always been a hive of excitement as we prepare for Christmas productions. Our concerts are an integral part of our ethos and community, so we wanted to develop a topic that would enhance this experience.
Below is a Knowledge Organiser which provides further information about what the children will be focusing on this term.
Need to know days
Monday - Big Pedal. Bring along your bikes and scooters to use on the yard.
Tuesday - PE. Please ensure pupils have appropriate kit.
(trainers/ black joggers or leggings / white t-shirt / no jewellery / hair tied back)
Wednesday - Outdoor Learning. Please dress appropriately for adverse conditions.
Reading Books/ Homework
We encourage our pupils to read for 20 minutes every day and we change any schemed reading books frequently throughout the week. Please can you sign your child’s reading record so that we can see if a book has been read, otherwise it may not be changed.
Many of our pupils are now ‘Free Reading’, meaning they have completed the school's reading scheme. Therefore, books of interest from home are encouraged. Please liaise with class teachers to ensure books are appropriate for school use with regard to content and challenge. ‘Reading Eggs’ and ‘Read Theory’ are also available for extra online reading support and pupils receive their digital passports for these at the start of the year.
Homework is given every Friday and is to be returned by the following Monday. Any online work is set on Google Classroom.
