Teacher Bio:

Hello, Bonjour, Croeso! I'm Mr. Davies and although I've taught at The Pines the last 2 summers, this is my first year starting here in September!  I have been a teacher for a looooong time though (26 years) and have taught Year 6 previously. I live locally with my wife, who some of you may know, my children, my dogs and my golf clubs. I love sport - especially Rugby & Golf but  I'll watch pretty much any sport and have played a variety over the years but, now, I mainly stick to playing golf (badly) currently! I also have a real passion for films/cinema and enjoy many a hour there!! I also love reading and I really hope that is something that the children will embrace this year - they certainly embraced our class novel last term!  

Class Routines

Our main classroom door is the second door on the right in the courtyard. If your child has consent to bring a mobile phone and needs this to walk to and from school then they will need to hand this into the adult that greets them.

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

Current Learning

This term, our curriculum learning is Trade and Vikings with the aim of answering the big question:  How has trade changed over time and how to we benefit from and influence it? For the full details of this unit, have a look at our Knowledge Organiser below. 

Our class novel is: Cogheart.

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

English: We are currently 'Writing to Entertain'.  The children will be working on using appropriate vocabulary choices to describe settings, characters and atmosphere.

Maths: Children will be starting the year working on place value and securing their understanding of numerals and their value before moving onto the four operations.

Science: We are beginning to build on previous learning about electricity and light.

Geography: We will be understanding how trade impacts different countries and learning about food miles.

PE: Netball and Rugby until half term followed by Dance and Health Related Exercise.
