P6: Mrs MCCHESNEY

Welcome to our P6 page!

As you can imagine, P6 is a very busy year – in all aspects of the school curriculum.

Alongside our core subjects of Literacy, Numeracy and ICT, we cover a number of very interesting topics.

During the first half of term one, we learn all about the Vikings. This is a fantastic topic which is usually enjoyed by everyone – with the highlight being our ‘Viking Day’ where we come to school in costume, discovered the joys of archery, designed shields and jewellery, play a traditional Viking board game and enjoy some ‘Viking’ food.

Our next topic is ‘Natural Disasters’ which we find very interesting. We have a look at volcanoes, avalanches, earthquakes, tsunamis, tornadoes and meteor strikes. This topic  allows us to study some history as we look at the story of Vesuvius and Pompeii. We also take a case study of an avalanche in Italy and study that.

We are looking forward to learning about other topics in 2023.24 which will include Inventions and Inventors and Space.

In P6 we are Buddies to our P1 friends! This is a wonderful job and one we are all very proud of. Once a week, we meet our buddies outside and spend time with them,  helping them with parts of their curriculum, going for walks and playing games with them. We also enjoy lots of ICT with our buddies and teaching them how to use Google Chromebooks and Just3Easy software to support their learning. We look forward to growing our bonds with the P1s over the course of P6 and P7.

In P6 we follow the PATHS programme.

Things to get extra busy after Christmas as we prepare for our Key Stage 2 production.

We will also be heading off on a residential trip to Ganaway in April and we can’t wait.

Regular updates and weekly Class Focus Sheets are distributed to each year group via their Class Dojo page.
