Welcome to Term 5!
Happy Easter, Earthlings! Can you believe that the first of our two summer terms is already upon us? I hope you have all had a lovely break and are feeling full of excitement for a brand new term. For our term topic we'll be exploring the fascinating subject of coal mining, making links to local history, and trying our hand at the artistic techniques used by the famous Pitmen Painters.
Year 6 will be busy preparing for SATs tests, which take place in the week of 9th May. Tests will be on Monday to Thursday of that week. Thank you for all the hard work you have been putting in over the past few months to get ready for the tests.
In science we’ll be learning about different materials and their special properties and uses, while our RE learning counts down to Pentecost with the topic of transformation, looking at how the Holy Spirit has the power to change our lives. Hopefully we'll also get some lovely sunshine to brighten up our basketball lessons in PE!
