Welcome to Class 6 with Mrs Wicks and Mr Green.

This page has useful information about the day to day running of Class 6 and about what we get up to in our busy, exciting classroom.

In Class 6 Mrs Wicks teaches on Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays and Mr Green teaches on Thursdays and Fridays. We both work alongside our teaching partner, Miss Wilkinson.

This term our topic is Who’s got the power? and we will be learning all about the changing power of monarchs/ changes in social history. We will be studying the changing power of monarchy and parliamentary democracy.

This will include William I and the feudal system, John and Magna Charta, Charles and Civil War....the parliamentary system, women’s suffrage and current issues. We will make links to British values, oracy, persuasive writing, equality and human rights

Our science focus is Evolution and inheritance. We will:

recognise that living things have changed over time and that fossils provide information about living things that inhabited the Earth millions of years ago
recognise that living things produce offspring of the same kind, but normally offspring vary and are not identical to their parents
identify how animals and plants are adapted to suit their environment in different ways and that adaptation may lead to evolution

In English we will write biographies of famous scientists and their discoveries: for example Mary Anning and Charles Darwin as well as creating factual texts and studying classic fiction.

Our class text for this term is The Great Sea Dragon Discovery.

In P.E. we will focus on handball and dance.

If you have would like to share any information or expertise on any of the above please let Mrs Wicks and Mr Green know!
