Our hearts swell with delight as we witness you glide gracefully on your brooms, preparing for the grand adventure of secondary school. So, keep your wands poised, Falcons, and let us embark on this extraordinary year filled with spells and merriment! Here’s to a captivating term ahead.

Maths Get ready to dive into a world of numbers this term! We’ll be measuring things like pros, mastering both metric and imperial units. Algebra is on the menu too—don't worry, it’s more fun than it sounds! And we’ll wrap it all up with a sprinkle of decimals for the final two weeks.

English Hold onto your broomsticks! We’re venturing into the magical universe of ‘Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone.’ Our writing adventures will be based on this enchanting tale, where we’ll whip up alternative chapters, concoct potion recipes, craft non-chronological reports on fantastical creatures, and even write a spicy newspaper article about the epic battle for the Philosopher’s Stone! Magic and creativity await.

Geography Buckle up for our dazzling topic: What Makes Fantasy Magical? We're diving deep into the world of Geography, exploring the enchanting countries, counties, and cities of the UK, plus the majestic rivers and seas that wrap around us like a cozy blanket. And guess what? We’ll be channeling our inner wizards as we design, craft, and judge our very own wand pouches, showing off those snazzy stitching skills!

Religious Education This term, we’re embarking on a journey through Islam, tackling the intriguing question: ‘What does it mean to be a Muslim in Britain today?’ Prepare for some enlightening discoveries!

Science Prepare to shine brightly this term as we explore the captivating realm of light! We’ll embark on some enlightening goals: understand how light travels in straight lines, discover why we perceive objects (hint: it all revolves around light reflecting into our eyes), and uncover the secrets of shadows that mimic the shapes of their object companions.

Computing: Programming It's time to unleash your inner game designer! We’ll decode the concept of variables in programming while having fun and playing games in Scratch. Let’s explore how variables work their magic, enhance existing games, and even craft our very own creations! Get ready to bring your A-game!

Here’s to an excellent term, Mr Churchill and the Year 6 Team.
