Southfield Junior School

 

Year 6 Classes

Our two year 6 classes are called Oak and Rowan.

The pupils are taught by Mrs Spencer and Mrs Clapham and supported by Mrs Sutton and Mrs Bushnell. 

During PPA each week, the children are taught by Mrs. Law for specialist computing lessons in which they learn about, practice and apply different I.T. skills to complement in-class learning. The children also learn about e-safety. During this time, they are also taught RE by Mrs Richardson. 

PE is on Monday and Wednesday afternoons.

Spring Term- Nations at War

In English, we have been looking closely at inspirational speeches with a particular focus on Neville Chamberlain's declaration of war. The children then wrote their own and worked hard to ensure they were both formal and emotive!    

In topic, we have looked at key events that took place during WW2, how the war started and the significance of Winston Churchill. Ask your children what they know already- they have so much knowledge to share!

Current Reading

In our daily read session, we are currently reading Goodnight Mister Tom.

 

 'What you doin'?' asked Tom.

'You gets into it, not under it.'

Tom drew back the sheets and Willie Climbed in between them. Sammy, meanwhile, was standing impatiently at Tom's side, wagging his tail in lunatic fashion. 'Go on, you daft dog,' said Tom, and Sammy leapt onto the bed between Willie's arms and licked his face. Slowly Willie put his arms round him, gave a small cry and burst into tears.

 Set during World War II, this story features a boy abused at home in London who is evacuated to the country at the outbreak of the war. In the care of Mister Tom, an elderly recluse, he experiences a new life of loving and care.
