Team HUMBER (year 6)

Good afternoon, 

The children have had a wonderful week in school and are very keen to learn more about World War 2. They have been fascinated learning about the evacuation of Dunkirk and were shocked by the scenes that those men faced. 

On Monday next week we will have the first of our World War 2 experiences, with Mr McKenzie joining us virtually. 

On Tuesday, John Weetman, the vicar at Selby Abbey, will be joining the children to talk about why he chose to believe in God. 

Friday is our ‘Wear it Bright’ day. Please see Parent Hub for further details. 

Coming up next week: 

English:  the children will be continuing to write their stories based on the evacuation of Dunkirk

Maths - the children will be solving problems involving decimals

Year 6 will be following some bespoke PSHE for the first few weeks. Next week we will be continuing to look at respect and the importance of this to have successful relationships.
