Teacher Bio:

Hello, Bonjour, Croeso! I'm Mr. Davies and I have been a teacher for a looooong time though (27 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 - although I did win a competition recently!) currently! I also have a real passion for films/cinema and enjoy many a hour there!! I LOVE reading and I really hope that is something that the children will embrace this year - I'm hoping our Reading Miles Challenged and our class novel this term really get them interested!  

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 Thursday afternoons. You should come to school wearing P.E kit on that day. Year 6 will also be undertaking Bushcraft every Friday afternoon this term - they are welcome to bring in a change of clothes for this. 

Current Learning

This term, we will be learning about what Trade is, how it has changed over time and how it impacts our lives. We will also be studying how Light travels and how we see things before moving on to understanding circuits in Electricity. 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 spooky tale and a non-chronological report.

Maths: Children will be developing arithmetic and reasoning skills.  Our topics change regularly  - so please do ask your child what they're doing in maths currently and see what they can tell you.

Science: Light and Electricity.

Geography: Trade & Vikings.

PE: Tag Rugby, Netball & . 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.
