Da Vinci - Year 6

Welcome to Da Vinci - Year 6!

In Da Vinci class we believe that together we can create a fantastic, positive and stimulating learning environment, where everyone can thrive and truly enjoy learning.

Thinking about yourself isn’t always easy, but it can be fun.

Welcome back to school and welcome to

Da Vinci!

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.

I know coming back to school after this lovely summer break will be a time of excitement, anxiety and even a bit of sadness for most of us. The new school year is full of many unknowns and that can feel a little scary at first. A lot is changing as you begin your final year at primary school. But … remember this is also going to be a year of exciting firsts…we are now YEAR 6!!! I can’t wait!

Things to look forward to this half term - lots of lovely Science and Geography learning using our natural world; an amazing topic on the Ancient Greeks full of history, art and discovery; our concept of LEGACY, what will we leave behind; some fantastic new books; getting to know each other and lots and lots of laughing!

Using ideas from our natural world, our P4C sessions will aim to empower us to explore the idea of climate change, empower us to use our voices for change and develop our knowledge and understanding of how we can protect our planet.

In RE, we will focus on Islamic traditions around the ideas of belonging and community. Through exploring these concepts, we will begin to understand the significance of the Ummah in the lives of Muslims and how the Five Pillars support the Ummah.

We will be enjoying our instrument lessons with Mrs Vaughn from the Hampshire Music Service, and hope to show off our musical skills for our new Cassatt Buddies very soon!

I can’t wait to see all your smiling faces and connect with you as your class teacher! Let’s walk into a great year filled with learning new things, working together, and having a lot of fun!
