Welcome back to the new school year - and your final year at St George’s! We hope you had a lovely summer holiday and are ready to get on with some fantastic learning this term!  

This term we will be having PE with the sports coach on a Wednesday and our other PE day will be Tuesday so please come in your PE kits every Tuesday and Wednesday.  Hopefully, we will be able to be outside most weeks so please make sure you have trainers on those days.

In English, we will be writing giraffe poems, character descriptions and information texts.  In our reading lessons, we will look at lots of different kinds of texts and develop our comprehension skills.  Our topics in maths are place value and all four operations. 

In science will be learning about light, and our RE topic is Life Journey: Hinduism, where we will be comparing Hindu and Jewish beliefs about belonging to a community. In art, we will be learning about the Lincolnshire artist, Sally Kheng and creating multi-media artwork.  Our topic in PSHE/RHE is Healthy and Happy Friendships, learning about how we can develop positive friendships and cope with changes in emotions as we grow and go through significant life events such as transition to secondary school! In computing, we will continue to develop our understanding of computer networks and how we use computers to collaborate and communicate. Our geography is learning all about Our Changing World, with a focus on coastlines.

Our exciting residential trip to Gulliver's Valley theme park takes place this half term. We will be having a parents meeting soon to go through the details, fill in medical forms and answer any questions.  Kit lists will be sent home and available in the office soon. 

Even at the start of Year 6, we can’t ignore the transition to secondary school at the end of the year!  Secondary school applications need to be made by October 31^st.  If you have any questions about this, or need any help completing application forms, please come and talk to us or contact the school office.

Now that the children are in Year 6, there are lots of opportunities for taking on greater responsibilities in school, such as being buddies to the new Reception children and being House Captains, and also lots of rewards, such as sitting on the chairs in assembly!  However, with these rewards and responsibilities, comes the expectations that our Year 6s show themselves as role models for the younger children in school - through their appearance (smart school uniform), attitude and behaviour.  

As ever, if you have any questions, please don't hesitate to catch us at the gates after school, or call the office for an appointment.

Best wishes,

Mrs Briston, Ms Lowe and Mrs McBroom
