July 2020 - Transition Booklet
Welcome to Eagles Class!
This year, we are so proud to have been given important roles within school including: House Captains, librarians, members of the tech team and Head and Deputy Head Boy and Girl. As we are named Eagles, we aspire to be tenacious high-fliers who support the younger children in our school community.
Within our classroom, we have a thirst for learning and always strive to be the best we can be. Across Year 6 understand how important it is to work together and support each other in being the best we can be.
We are really excited to see what this year brings!
Knowledge Organiser - Autumn Term
Books we are currently reading in school
This is our text for the spring term. It links to our theme “Extreme Earth” as it is set in Indonesia during the Boxing Day Tsunami in 2004. As part of our English lessons, we will write non-chronological reports based around Tsunamis; newspaper reports based on the main character’s story and persuasive arguments around the topic of deforestation and animal capture.
For the autumn term, our text is Riddle of the Runes, which is a mystery set during the Viking era. We will use this book to write balanced argument based on the life of a Viking child; narrative retelling parts of the story from different viewpoints and a diary entry stepping into the life of Alva, the main character.
