Welcome to Class 6

Form Teacher: Mr Marshall

Teaching Assistant: Miss Bannister

Autumn 1:

It has been a really positive return to school this term after the long break over the summer. We have welcomed four new students who are settling in amazingly.

The past week we have also welcomed a new doggy face to our class called Stanley who is a qualified guide dog and is making students smile across the school.

 For our ASDAN lesson we went shopping for the ingredients to cook chicken and chorizo risotto which we are looking forward to doing next week.

 In our English instruction writing class we wrote instructions for a (Robot Mr Marshall) to follow to make a jam sandwich which had some rather funny outcomes!

Pupils will be studying:

• English, Mathematics, Science, Computing, Physical Education
• History, Geography, Careers
• Citizenship, PSHE, Religion 
• Design Technology, Food Technology, Music, Art
• ASDAN

This is a varied curriculum for students, where everyone has the chance to succeed and progress towards a career for their future life.

Home Learning:

Homework will be given throughout the year for all subjects. If families need additional help to support their child please contact class staff – we will be more than willing to help you. As an addition to any class homework given, please can your child do the following:

• Reading - we suggest pupils read every day, about something that they are actually interested in. This will help increase their vocabulary, as well as looking at how words are spelled and how authors use language.
• Spellings - practice any spellings given. You can use a dictionary to help you understand the meaning of the word, then use the words in sentences. 
• Handwriting - not only is it important to get  used to writing with a pen or a pencil it's also important that your handwriting is understood (as best as possible). 
• Times Tables - these are important as they help your child in their maths lessons. Some children also need 
• Speaking and Listening - we encourage our students to talk to their families and share their day with them. this not only involves our parents and carers in their child's day but also encourages our students to listen to their family and friends  too.

School Trips:

It’s not all work though – Students will have the opportunity to go on school trips throughout the year, to support and enhance their learning, but also as a reward for continuing good behaviour and good attitude. Students will also aim to fund raise throughout the year to support our school charities, which they enjoy very much.

Build on your good work from last year.

 Believe in yourself and aim for success.
