Welcome to the Year 6 page 

Happy Half Term!! 

Well done for a great half term - please make sure you have a good rest and stay safe.

Thank you to everyone who came to our WWII Museum Day!   It was a great success and we were so impressed with the efforts that had gone into the display pieces!!

Scaplen's Court was also a huge success - the children enjoyed it so much and it proved to be an excellent trip!!  Photos are on the class pages.

We are already looking ahead to the Autumn 2 term - Water will be our main topic.  This means we start with our hook - our trip to Holdenhurst to see the journey our water goes on.

6Beech and half of 6Holly are going on Wednesday 3rd November

6Willow and the other half of 6Holly are going on Monday 8th November.  ( We shall tell them the break down / split of 7=6Holly after half term).  Please dress warmly for this and bring your packed lunch, a coat (and wellies to change into if wet).

Don't forget that you can contact us on our class email if you need to.
