Silkstone Primary School

A School with Soul

Welcome to Class Six 

In Class 6 the children will be working with Miss Heeley, Mrs Hobson and Mr Heath. Our aim is for the children to feel safe, happy and interested in learning new things.

We will work hard to achieve Dojo points each week for good behaviour, following our golden rules and working hard. We will also work together to earn marbles for the jar which will lead to a whole class reward.

Children will have weekly spellings, reading and homework tasks, please encourage your child to complete their home learning and continue to practise their times tables. I will be available during lunch time on a Tuesday and Friday to help children with homework tasks.

Throughout the year we will be working towards SATS which take place in May. We will look at previous questions regularly so that the children become familiar with the layout and question type to help them feel confident and relaxed when May arrives.

At the end of the year we will be performing our KS2 Production and we will enjoy working together, learning our roles and singing and dancing our way to the end of term!

Our class visits during the year are Robinwood, Crucial Crew and Chester Zoo. We have already enjoyed our visit to Robinwood where we scaled great heights, zoomed through the air and challenged ourselves to escape the Dungeon and the hugely popular Piranha Pool.

Please do not hesitate to contact us with any questions or concerns you may have, we are always happy to help.

We look forward to a fantastic year with your children; building lasting memories of primary school.

Chester Zoo

We had a wonderful trip to Chester Zoo as part of our Geography curriculum learning about South America, the Amazon and the Rainforest.  We enjoyed seeing all the animals and learning about their habitats.

Our Classroom

Learning in Year 6 involves lots of collaborative work and Talk Partners.  We enjoy learning the keyboards with Barnsley Music Service and practical experiments in our Science lessons.

Crucial Crew

We spent a really interesting day at Crucial Crew learning how to keep ourselves safe in a variety of different situations.

Electric Vehicles

In DT we designed and made electrical vehicles, carefully measuring, sawing and constructing a wooden framework and attaching an electrical circuit.

Christmas

We enjoyed participating in the games at the Christmas Fair and performing for Senior Citizens in our Christmas Concert.

Robinwood

We had a brilliant time during our residential at Robinwood.  We challenged ourselves to participate in different activities and worked together as a team, encouraging each other to succeed.

We are Artists

We created multi-layered textured self portraits after looking at the work of artist Mike Barrett.  We are really proud of our results.

We are Artists

We carefully measured our grids to scale up our silhouettes in preparation for creating our 3D sculptures.  After we had scaled up our pictures we used collage from previous mark making to fill the space.  We then had the challenge of turning our 2D drawing into 3D.  We are really proud of our animal creations.
