Year 6 - Looking Back and Forth - Friday 6th November 2026

Year 6 – Looking Back and Forth – Friday 6th November 2026

Looking Back

It was just lovely to welcome Year 6 back after the autumn half term break and it sounds like everyone had enjoyed the week with families. We have begun our new text in English – authored by our very own Mr. Campion.  The Last Post is proving quite educational and engaging.  Maths has seen us complete our unit on number and we have moved onto Metric Measures.  We’ve been really busy with our afternoons and we have placed some bread (in bags) in our windows to conduct a "mould” experiment.  We have learned about the geographical markers such as the Tropics of Cancer & Capricorn, the Arctic and Antarctic Circles and the Greenwich/Prime Meridian.  ‘My Princess Boy’ formed the basis of our No Outsiders work and we’ve continued to look at Pilgrimage too.  Friday was rounded off with a little French, tag rugby and seeing our excitable buddies once more.

  • What can you tell me about the lines around our globe – (see above)
  • What are the names of the father & son in ‘The Last Post’ and what new vocabulary have you learned?
  • What are the definitions of length, mass and capacity? How is mass different to weight? Which changes and which stays the same between Earth and the Moon?

Looking Forth

We are really looking forward to cracking on with our new learning. We are welcoming families to parent/family meetings throughout the week to celebrate how well Year 6 have settled in.

Dates for the coming week

Parent meetings take place throughout the week – your child is welcome to attend the appointments too.

PE for this half term is tag rugby and as much as possible, the class will be outdoors.  Please ensure that they have suitable coats for outdoor PE.  School jumpers are just fine for this, too. Thank you

Have a lovely bonfire weekend.

Thank you – The Year 6 Team
