Year 6

Mrs Whitehouse

Mrs Rundle

Welcome to our class page.  We hope you will find it useful and it will let you know what we are currently learning about in school.

Hello. I'm Mrs Whitehouse and this is my fourth year at The Pines.  I live in Crowthorne with my husband, my two daughters and my dog Amber.  I love reading, cooking and sewing.  My favourite colour is blue and I am happiest when I am with my family on a beach, listening to the waves lapping the shore.  

I am really looking forward to teaching Juniper class again this year.  

Class Routines

Our main classroom door for the start of the day is in the courtyard.  You will be dismissed from the classroom door at the front.

Our regular P.E lessons will be on Thursday afternoons and Friday afternoons. Children should come to school wearing P.E kit on both of those days.  

Current Learning

This term, our curriculum learning is Changes with the aim of answering the big question:  How does change impact/affect our identity? For the full details of this unit, have a look at our Knowledge Organiser below. 

Our class novel is Can you see me? 

At the moment, we are particularly focusing on the following:

English:  We are currently 'Writing to Entertain'.  The final written outcome of our work will be a twisted fairytale.  Throughout the summer term we will be focusing on our sentence structures and using the full range of punctuation expected at Key Stage 2.

Maths:  Children will be working in their maths groups to consolidate and add to their knowledge in preparation for their SATS in a few weeks. We will be working on areas that the children need in order to feel more confident!

Science: We continue the changes theme in science this term, looking at life cycles of different animals and then, moving onto the conditions plants need in order to thrive.  

Geography: We will be considering the impact of climate change and thinking about what we can do to mitigate against the changes we face as a result of accelerated climate change.  

PE: Athletics and Rounders/Cricket
