• Poetry by heart

Dear Class 5 parents, 

Welcome to the summer term!  We have are looking forward to getting the most out of this last term for Year 6 and to making some lovely memories! 

We are very proud of how well they have coped with the challenges of the past year, and are delighted by their friendliness, enthusiasm and positive attitude since the start of this term.

We will be learning about the ‘Sixties’ as a focus for our topic work, which gives lots of scope for individual interests to be investigated and pursued, as there were so many significant changes in technology, art, sport, music, politics etc. in that decade. 

We are going to focus our geography on a study of the local area, linked to local author Alan Garner, and his childhood and children’s books set in Alderley Edge. This will give us a great reason to visit the Edge and explore. Information about this will follow in a separate letter.

We are also doing our best to plan for interesting and challenging activities as a small compensation for missing out on residential trips for the past two years. More details will follow in due course, depending of course on the official Covid regulations.

We have chosen a play for the end of year performance, which we will be introducing to the children next week, and which we are sure they will enjoy performing. We intend to record the show, in case of limitations around performance, but are certainly very hopeful that we will be able to welcome you to a live performance in some form in July too!

We are also planning for Sports Week in July. 

There will be transition activities for Year 6 pupils throughout the term, and we will share details of these as soon as we receive them. Mrs Davis will be working with small groups of children throughout the term to support the transition process too.

We would just like to reiterate how absolutely thrilled we are to be back in the real world classroom with your lovely children.  We are already having great fun, and we intend to do our best to support their learning, and promote their resilience and well being.

If you have any questions or concerns, as always, we urge you to contact us promptly, so we can deal effectively with any issues arising.

Fingers crossed for a full and fulfilling term in school!!
