Year 6 2024 - 2025
Mr Haslam
Deputy Head & Year 6 Teacher
SLT - curriculum and Teaching & Learning Lead
Hello everybody, I’m Mr Haslam and I would like to welcome you all to my class, Year 6.
As well as myself on Monday, you will have a specialist sports coach, Mr Tinsley, for PE and Mr Sweetmore for ‘Shared Reading’.
Thursdays are going to be busy. In the morning, you will have myself for PE and PSHE, then in the afternoon, you will have Mr Stannard for music, and Madame Carter for French. And when it’s time for art, Mr Bradley will be doing this on a Friday. Something for you all to look forward to!
As well as the usual English, maths, science history/geography and RE lessons, over the course of this year we have many exciting topics to look forward to learning about.
During the autumn term, you will enjoy learning about how the location of a place affects its trade and economy in our first topic, ‘Across the Atlantic’. During this topic, you will visit Mrs Lawrence’s potato farm, where you will learn how they are grown and traded with Walkers, the famous crisp making company.
Then, in the Spring term, you will be studying ‘Victorian Britain’. During this topic, you will visit Quarry Bank Mill.
The final term will also be very exciting! Not only will you be learning about ‘World War II’ once again there will be a whole school focus on an ‘Advocates for Change’ project, yet to be decided upon. Furthermore, you will prepare for your end-of-year production and enjoy a leavers’ service at Chester Cathedral.
I look forward to seeing you all in September!
