Welcome to Da Vinci - Year 6!

Hello and welcome to the Da Vinci page! This is where you will find all the information you need to know about what we will be doing in Year 6 this half term.

Be Ready • Be Respectful • Be Safe

What a fantastic start to the Autumn term we’ve had in Da Vinci Class! Our Year 6 children have truly hit the ground running, embracing an exciting and challenging new curriculum with enthusiasm and maturity. They showed great courage and teamwork during the residential and impressed everyone with their confident and engaging focus assembly.

This half term, Year 6 will be exploring a rich mix of creative, reflective and skill-building topics. In Religious Education, pupils have been thinking deeply about faith and spirituality using the book What is God? to guide discussions about world religions - Christianity, Islam, Judaism, Hinduism, and Buddhism. They have compared beliefs, explored how people express prayer and connection, and discussed how misunderstandings between faiths can arise. The children are also busy preparing for their Christmas performance with Year 5 Van Gogh Class, learning lines and songs ready to share with parents and carers at the end of term.

Across the curriculum, pupils are applying their English skills in exciting ways - researching our local area in Geography, studying the life and art of Leonardo da Vinci and developing precise scientific language in their work on evolution and adaptation. In PE, teamwork has been the focus through outdoor activities and netball.

We will continue to recognise and celebrate positive attitudes and achievements through house points, marbles in the jar, and the values crown — celebrating the effort and enthusiasm the children bring to every lesson, as they live out our shared values of love, courage, and hope. The Year 6 team — Mrs Andrews, Mrs Kilby and Mr Turner will continue to teach, support and nurture all our Year 6 learners as they move through this exciting term.
