Autumn Term
What did the Ancient Greeks do for us?
Hi Year 6!
I hope you all had a wonderful summer holiday! I can't wait to hear all about what you have been up to on our first day.
This term, our essential question is, 'What did the Ancient Greeks do for us?' It's a brilliant topic to learn about, I know you will all enjoy it! Whilst investigating this question, we will be learning about key events within the Ancient Greek period, including the Trojan War, Alexander the Great, Athens Vs Sparta and the difference between the Olympics then and now!
In science, we will be studying the Earth and Space. We have organised for visitors to come into school for this unit - more information will be provided in the first couple of weeks of school.
In English, we will be writing our own Greek Myth, which will be published and available to be purchased via Amazon. As well as a letter to Zeus, and a newspaper article about the Minotaur.
In DT, you will be making Pandora's Box out of wood, with an emblem created using a 3D printer - how exciting! You will then be creating Ancient Greek inspired designs to decorate your box in art.
We will also look at the geography of Greece and compare this to the UK, noting similarities and differences.
As well as this, some of you will also be attending the PGL residential trip in October too!
Reading records will continue to be checked on a Monday and house points will be awarded for 4 reads per week. Homework will be set on a Friday, please hand it in on the following Thursday. A weekly spelling test will be held on Friday. The list of words is in the back of your homework book and a copy of the list can be found below.
PE will be on Tuesday afternoons, however please make sure that you have your PE kits in school for the whole week.
Below is an overview of what we will be learning about this term in each subject. We're going to have a fantastic year - I can't wait to get to know you all.

Our Values
On a daily basis, our children try to demonstrate our core values within school. As we aim to practise them so often, they become good habits that we can use not only in school but also at home too.
- Habit 1: Be Proactive (You’re in Charge)
- Habit 2: Begin With the End in Mind (Have a Plan)
- Habit 3: Put First Things First (Work First, Then Play)
- Habit 4: Think Win-Win (Everyone Can Win)
- Habit 5: Seek First to Understand, Then to Be Understood(Listen Before You Talk)
- Habit 6: Synergise (Together Is Better)
- Habit 7: Sharpen the Saw (Balance Feels Best)
