Welcome to Year 6

Year 6 have settled well after the Summer break and have hit the ground running with various activities. Some children have sat the Kent Test and everyone has been writing a narrative based on the Wish Granter animation.
We have also already completed our First Aid course with Sam and we all learned about DRABC (Danger, Response, Airway, Breathing, Circulation) and how to help others who need medical care. We learned how to perform CPR and how to use a defibrillator. These life saving skills could be vital one day, although of course we hope our children will never need to put them into practice!
The rest of term 1 will be busy with lots of learning. In English, we will be learning various SPAG features and then applying them to our writing in the form of WW2 descriptive writing, poetry and a non-chronological report.
Our History study across the first two terms is World War 2, and we will be answering the question 'how was life in Britain affected by WW2?', considering causes of WW2, significant leaders and battles, the Home Front and evacuation. This builds on the children's Year 5 knowledge of World War 1.
We have lots of other learning taking place across the curriculum; we will update you with new photos soon!
