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

A brand new year is here – a chance for our children to sparkle, shine and make the most of their final year at Charles Kingsley’s Primary School. 

This term, Mrs Andrews, Mrs Kilby, and Mr Turner will be working closely together to support Year 6. Our aim is to nurture independence, resilience and a real love of learning, while preparing the children for the exciting challenges that lie ahead.

Our learning this term is shaped around the key concept of LEGACY. Lessons and discussions will encourage the children to think deeply, share thoughtful ideas, and explore how individuals and communities leave lasting impacts. Carefully chosen books and curriculum units will help us explore this theme in meaningful ways. In PE, the children will be developing their skills in hockey and tennis, learning key tactics and how to work as a team. We are also looking forward to extending their outdoor learning and teamwork during our residential trip to Marchants Hill – always a highlight of the year! Our R.E. focus this half term is on Islamic traditions. The children will be investigating Ummah, the Muslim concept of community, and reflecting on what it means to belong and support one another.

We will continue to recognise and celebrate positive attitudes and achievements through house points, marbles in the jar, and the values crown. These rewards seek to acknowledge the effort and enthusiasm the children bring to the classroom, living our shared values of love, courage and hope.
