Summer Term 1

Our learning this half term will centre around our new class text, set in the Victorian era, titled ‘The Wolves of Willoughby Chase.’ This is a story about wicked wolves and a grim governess who threatens Bonnie and her cousin Sylvia when Bonnie's parents leave Willoughby Chase for a sea voyage. Left in the care of the cruel Miss Slighcarp, the girls can hardly believe what is happening to their once happy home. The servants are dismissed, the furniture is sold, and Bonnie and Sylvia are sent to a prison-like orphan school. It seems as if the endless hours of drudgery will never cease. With the help of Simon, the gooseboy and his flock, they escape. But how will they ever get Willoughby Chase free from the clutches of the evil Miss Slighcarp?

During our history unit - Revolution: the children will be immersed into the world of The Victorians, this will be enhanced during our visit to the local Victorian town ‘Blists Hill’ in Ironbridge. We will also write a biography of Queen Victoria during our English sessions, to consolidate our learning of this topic.

In our maths work this half term, we will be focussing on the children’s confidence and boosting them with targeted learning to ensure they feel ready to sit their SATS in May.

PE will have a focus on multi-skills and rounders, Indoor PE will take place on a Friday and Outdoor PE will be held on a Wednesday afternoon. We hope that our French studies will involve an introduction to French in Year 7 from staff from one of our secondary schools, Telford Priory School.

Our Christian value for this half term is Wisdom, which we will be learning about in our class worship sessions alongside the RE topic ‘Can following God bring Freedom and Justice?’.

Thank you for your continued support. We have been especially appreciative of all the reading at home and your efforts in supporting the children with their homework. We are extremely proud of the children for their hard work in preparing for the upcoming SAT tests, well done year 6! 😊
