Year 6 - Looking Back and Forth - Friday 7th November 2025

Y6 –Friday 7th November 2025 – Looking Back & Forth in Year 6

Looking back:

It was great to welcome our Year 6s back from their half term break and we have begun a few new topics in class this week.  English has seen us introduce our new text for the coming weeks with Charles Darwin our main focus.  We have been busy with fractions for maths, whilst our afternoons have been filled with The Bronze Age; online safety and online relationships; My Happy Mind; Iron Age hill forts; RE; netball; and buddies.  We are looking forward to working with our fabulous class for the coming half term.

 Year 6 – Pupils’ Highlights:

  • RW PE
  • JA Buddies
  • GH Namaste
  • LM Hillforts
  • FH Our new English book
  • HN Maths
  • IB Quiet Reading

Family discussion questions:

  • Tell me what the word “Ramphastidae” means and who used it?
  • What does an Iron Age hill fort consist of?
  • Talk to me about the word “Namaste” and where it comes from.

Looking forward:

  • We are looking forward to joining members of our Goostrey community to share the commemorations for Armistice Day on Tuesday. Please ensure your child has a coat for this as light rain has been forecast – thank you.
  • We are looking forward to welcoming you to our parents’ evenings this week.
