In Year 6 our class mascot is ‘Shelly Seagull’’. Shelly helps us to focus on the following characteristics of effective learning.
In Year 6, through our teaching, and the experiences we offer, our children will learn how to become:
LEADERS - I try to influence others, negotiating and balancing different views to reach workable solutions.
COMPASSIONATE- I can use previously acquired knowledge and empathy to understand people and their feelings.
INQUISITIVE - I can look closely at information, judging its importance and value, asking the right questions to verify it.
RESOURCEFUL - I can work towards goals, showing initiative and without giving up.
Current CRACKING Curriculum Theme
Our current theme is Conflicts Past & Present.
In this theme, we will explore the causes of war. We will develop our research skills by finding out
more about either WWI or WWII and presenting our findings to our peers, with opportunity to question each other’s findings. We will learn the term ‘civil war’, recognising that conflict does not just occur between two or more countries. We will also recognise that war is not just a historic concept but
that there are conflicts still occurring across the globe today
