Class 6 - Badger

Year Six – Badger Class

This is the final year at Primary School so we make sure it’s one to remember! Year six is a great year as the children grow in independence and understanding of the world. The first topic is Injustice. Learning will focus on worldwide concerns such as refugees and racial equality. We will also discuss topical issues such as freedom of speech versus spreading misinformation. After half term the children will learn about the Maya civilisation and in spring and summer their topics will be Frozen Kingdon and Britain at War.

The highlight for many will be the year six residential, which really enables the children to challenge themselves physically and mentally but also to grow socially and emotionally. Other trips will be to Littlehampton at the end of the year and to Petworth to learn about the impact of the war on the bombing of the school. The Royal Navy are coming in summer term too, to run a STEM morning where the class will be learning about programming, pneumatics and circuits. The children will also have the opportunity to complete Bikeability, which will ensure they can ride safely on the roads.

Badger Class buddy up with children in Robin Class to support them as they join school. This buddy system includes varies shared activities throughout the year and has a big impact on both classes. In the Key Stage Two Production the largest speaking roles are given to year six and it is a wonderful way for them to show their passion, be it for acting, singing or creating scenery/props. Spending so much time together really does bond a class and school together. We will be exceptionally proud of every child and excited for their next steps but they will also be very much missed so we will always be delighted to see them and hear how they are getting on.
