Class Support Staff: Mrs C Reeves

Welcome to 6A

I am Miss Archer, and I am proud to be the 6A class teacher alongside our teaching assistant Mrs Reeves. The children will also be taught by our Assistant Principal and music teacher, Mrs S Hoff, on Fridays.  
 
6A is a class where we work hard, enjoy lots of exciting experiences and laugh, smile and learn along the way. We follow our MAPLE values to ensure that we are always striving to be our best selves and to support each other.  

What we are learning

This term we will be learning about the Circulatory System in Science and using that to complete a explanation text in our English lessons. We will then look at the text Pig Heart Boy- a hard-hitting text leading to incredible discussions. We will use this text to complete a narrative with dialogue and a letter.

In maths, we will be learning the connections between Fractions, Decimals and Percentages as well as geometry, angles and an introduction into algebra. We will delve into each of these topics and look at how they have previously occurred in the SATS tests ensuring that the children have lots of problem solving and reasoning opportunity, alongside their fluency. We will continue to look at the 4 calculations in our Big Maths sessions and our daily 10 for 10.

In science, we start with our Circulatory system in which we learn how our heart works and the components needed for this: the hear, the lungs and the blood. We then move on, after the half term, to our inheritance and evolution topic looking at what features we gain from our parents and which ones we create during out lifetime as well as the process of how animals have adapted to fit their habitats.

Our Topic for history is World War 1, learning about the causes of the frist world war and how it impacted on everyone’s daily life’s during that time. We look at the lifestyles of the soldiers as well as families left behind in England.

Trips

We will be going on our postponed school trip to Blist Hill to experience life first hand during The Industrial Revolution. Children will be able to put themselves into the situation of children of the time and will see how The Industrial Revolution impacted on life today.

Later on in the year, we will be taking part in our residential at Stanley head and going on trips a reward for completing the SATs exams.  

SATS

SATS will take place during week beginning 12th May this year. We will be holding information sessions in the Spring Term to give you all the information needed for the week itself as well as some top tips as to how you can help at home.

Routines and key information

  • Children will have a reading book and a reading for pleasure book. We expect that the books, along with their planner, are brought to school every day as we start each day reading. Books can be changed any day – the children just need to let us know when they are finished.
  • Children are expected to read at least 4 times a week at home, although 5 times is even better and children who achieve this will be rewarded with a certificate.
  • Toast can be purchased daily at breaktime.  The cost of this is 35p a day and the money needs to be put on the children’s parentmail account.   
  • Our PE day is Monday and Wednesday. 

Communication 

  • Maple Court Academy uses Class Dojo as a way of communicating with parents.
  • ​For any help or assistance with using Dojo, please speak to a member of the Year 1 team who will be more than happy to help!
