Rabbits Class - Year 6

Mrs. N. Gifford (Class Teacher)

Mrs. E. Gould (PPA Teacher )

Upper Key Stage Two comprises of years 5 and 6, with year 6 being the final year of primary school; we use cross-curricular projects in which subjects overlap to reinforce and compliment each other. Each project is planned carefully to meet the needs and capabilities of the child. We aim to develop the knowledge, concepts, skills and attitudes necessary for your child's whole development. We embrace 'Learning Without Limits' where children are not put into boxes but are given the space to grow and to surprise themselves (and us) about what they can achieve.

Term 3&4 The Circle of Life

WORLD BOOK DAY 2025

We have had a lovely World Book Day sharing our favourite books, admiring awesome costumes and reading with our buddies in Robins Class! 😀🦉📚

OWLS SURVIVOR WOW DAY!

Wow, Owls! What a busy day we’ve had! 😃 We learnt how to survive in the woods by using great teamwork to build a shelter (along with a camp fire), find water in different ways, identify edible foods, scavenge and so much more! 🌲🍃🔥. Well done everyone for using great collaboration skills throughout the day and demonstrating role model behaviour - Mrs. Jones, Reuben and I are all very proud of you! 😃 Awesome Owls! 🦉🦉🦉

Term 1&2 2024-5 Incredible Invaders!

OWLS CLASS WOW DAY!

Our 'Incredible Invaders' Wow Day focussed on creating mosaics just as the Romans had! We each designed and then made a tiled mosaic stone which will be placed in one of our outdoor spiritual areas. Also, as a whole class, we created a mosaic owl, working in teams to put together sections which were then collated to create the whole picture - it looks great in our classroom!

WHOLE SCHOOL BEACH DAY!

We kicked off the new school year with a trip to Weston sea front! The walk there was lovely - with lots of opportunities to explore on the way as we walked through the woods and down through Grove Park. On the beach we worked as a whole class team to create some artwork using natural resources - can you see our awesome octopus?! We also made sure that the beach was returned to how it was before we came in order to respect and help take care of our environment.

Welcome to a brand new school year! The Owls Class teaching team are really looking forward to welcoming everyone back to school and can't wait to see you all! We have lots to look forward to during the coming year - starting with our induction week where we will create our class charter and be able to get to know each other as a new class community! The following week, we have an exciting creative art day at the beach where we will be able to collaborate to create something amazing on Weston sea front! We can't wait!

This year, we are also launching new learning project called, 'Incredible Invaders!'. During this project we will begin with looking at the Empire of Ancient Greece and then move on to the Roman Empire, Julius Caesar, Emperor Claudius and the Roman Invasion of Britain. We will then find out about the Great Heathen Army and the Viking invasion of Britain, followed by the Norman invasion and William the Conqueror.
