WELCOME TO YEAR 6 EAGLES
Eagles are highflyers, tenacious hunters and have excellent vision. Once they have a goal in mind, they strive to obtain it and never let it slip through their talons. As King of Skies, they soar high with ambition and innovation.
THIS TERM'S THEME
'Free To Be Me'
In Year 6, we will be focusing on celebrating ourselves and explaining the role we play in society. We will consider how others may experience prejudice based on differences they may have. We will celebrate these differences by showing empathy, patience, and tolerance.
P.E AND DANCE DAYS
Dance for Eagles will be on a Wednesday and PE will be on a Friday. Please ensure your child comes to school with the correct kit, which is clearly labelled. For more information about kit requirements, please visit our 'Physical Education & School Sport' Page.
We will ensure that PE kits are sent home at the end of every half term.
HOME LEARNING DAYS
Home learning will be sent home on Fridays and should be returned to school on Wednesday. Home learning should be completed to the best standard possible and Mathletics and Times Table Rock Stars should also be completed weekly. We celebrate the efforts of Mathletics and Times Table Rock Stars in our assemblies with special class shout outs and certificates.

ACADEMIC YEAR 2025/2026
AUTUMN TERM
Autumn Term Curriculum Map
Thursday 23rd October 2025- PE
This half term year 6 have been focusing on tag rugby. They have been developing their attacking skills by using the correct passing technique and working as a team. They have also practised effective tagging techniques to help with their defending skills.
Wednesday 8th October 2025 - Dance
We have been learning Greek dancing this term in our dance lessons. We have watched some traditional Greek dances and learnt some basic steps to create a group dance to the famous Greek music called 'Zorba the Greek'. This week, we have learnt the Hasapiko dance and included that into our routines, along with remembering to use different formations. We filmed our dances and watched them back so we could see what we needed to do to improve them.
Friday 3rd October 2025 - Coasteering - Reach Outdoors
Over the last couple of weeks Year 6 got together with Reach Outdoors. We put on our wetsuits, buoyancy aids and helmets and headed down to the picturesque Churston Cove. We were brilliant at showing our bravery and water-confidence skills. We then swam around to Fishcombe Cove and carried out some activities including jumping off rocks into the sea. We were all incredible - showing how supportive we can be and our positive attitudes.
Friday 26th September 2025 – Science
During our Science sessions we are learning about different components of our blood. We completed a pattern seeking enquiry to answer this question:
How does the size of the blood vessel effect the blood flow?
We collected some results and made observations.
