Year 6
Y6 2024 - 2025
Welcome to Year 6. This year Year 6 will be taught by Miss Clugston, Mrs Ashton will support the class all day and Mrs Smith will support in the mornings.
Our PE day will be a Wednesday.
We have been learning about the circulatory system and how blood is pumped all around our body.
Year 6 went to Greater Manchester Fire training centre to learn all about life as a fire fighter, how to stay safe in the home and had basic first aid training.
We learnt all about the circulatory system and the different parts of the heart. We then learnt about the different components of our blood: plasma, white blood cells, red blood cells and platelets. We found out what the different components do and how they help us. We then used the percentages to make our own blood.

Hi everyone, I hope you are all okay. Thank you for continually sending me home learning and letting me know what you are up to! I love receiving emails from you. We will be informing you about the arrangements for Y6 coming back to school by the end of this week. Please see below for this week’s home learning tasks.
As of this week, we will be moving to the Oak National Academy for online learning. (https://classroom.thenational.academy/schedule-by-year/year-6/#). This is a government approved website that includes face to face, interactive teaching videos and has sequenced the learning for children in English, Maths and topic areas. When on the website, children can click on their ‘schedule’ which shows them their lessons for that day. You will be able to find History, PHSE and other topics to complete aswell as Maths and English.
Please note: Each lesson has an introductory quiz to complete – click next – watch the video – click next – worksheet/ Independent task (work through the slides ) – click next – final quiz.
There are also opportunities for assemblies and worships where the children can hear from guest speakers. We will also provide additional comprehensions and White Rose Maths resources for additional challenge if you wish to use them.
Please remember, if you need anything at all, you can contact me on the class email year6@howebridge.wigan.sch.uk. I hope you all have a lovely week!

Welcome Back!

Hi everyone. I hope you have a restful and enjoyable break. As these uncertain times continue, we will carry on providing home learning activities on the website for those children who are not in school. Hopefully, one day soon, we will see all the children in school but in the meantime we are thankful and appreciate all the efforts of parents and carers to educate their children at home. We fully understand that working with your children while, in many cases, trying to work yourselves is difficult. We are always here to help and can be contacted through the class email address year6@howebridge.wigan.sch.uk or by phone. So. keep up your efforts! We are really proud of the children and have really enjoyed seeing their work and hearing your comments about their achievements.

The afternoon learning this week will be a project that children can work through gradually.
