Welcome back to our final term in Year 6! We have a action-packed term with lots of learning opportunities and visits to look forward to! This term our topic is 'Thrills and Spills'. 

This term we are looking at focusing on the 4 of the 6 areas of learning: Languages, Literacy and Communication, Mathematics and Numeracy, Science and Technology and Humanities.

We will be focussing on locating and plotting the world's best roller coasters on a map, investigating potential and kinetic energy by creating our own roller coasters and learning new skills to be able to use spreadsheets effectively to plan a day out with a budget to a theme park!

In our Literacy lessons, we have recently finished our character descriptions linking to our whole class reading book - The Nowhere Emporium. We will be moving on to biographies with a Welsh celebrity focus and our new reading book 'The Goldfish Boy'.

This term we will be starting to rehearse for our leavers performance, going on our transition days to high school, having different visitors to talk to us about transition and our annual trip to Gulliver's World! Fingers crossed that we have some great weather for the day!

I hope we all we have an enjoyable final term, I cannot wait to see what we get up to!
