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 Monday and Friday afternoons. You should come to school wearing P.E kit on both of those days.  

Current Learning

This term, we will be learning about how Changes impact our lives. Our work will help us to answer the question: How does 'Change' influence and affect out identity? For the full details of this unit, have a look at our Knowledge Organiser below. 

Our class novel is: Holes.

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

English: Narrative writing - a twisted fairy tale and writing to persuade.

Maths: Children will be developing reasoning skills and continuing arithmetic practise ahead of SATS in May.

Science: Living things and humans.

Geography: Changes - including climate change.

PE: Tennis, Cricket & Rounders. The weather may mean that the Gym is used for PE lessons, children will be expected to take their shoes and socks off. They may wear grip socks if preferred.
