Year 5/6 (Mrs Minney)
Welcome to Year 5/6 2024
Autumn Term!
In our class we are striving to be confident, healthy and ambitious individuals! We are developing our Growth Mindsets to enjoy and seek challenge.
This term our topic in Year 5/6 is 'Headlines'. We will be looking at the First News papers that will keep us updated on news around the world. We are also going to create our own Clwyd Newspaper to deliver around the community and plan to read some newspapers with the people in our local nursing home. This term we also have Harvest, The Pop Up Shop and our Christmas Concert to prepare for!
Here are some important reminders now we are in Year 5/6!

* PE is on a Thursday (white top and black shorts).
* A HEALTHY snack and drink need to be provided daily, toast can be purchased on Toast Tuesdays. Please no crisps, chocolate, sweets or pop.
* Homework will be sent at the start of the term. It will be a grid of activities linked to our topic and you can pick them off and send us photos on Dojo!
* Please keep listening to us read and reading to us!
Currently planned trips:
Year 6 will have the opportunity to go to LLanmadoc in March 2025.

Autumn Term - World War 2
We are visiting Gwili Railway on the 24th October, we will be travelling on a stream train to re-enact the journey of an evacuee.
WE ARE MEGA EXCITED ABOUT DRESSING UP IN COSTUME.
In November, we will be watch 'Awful Auntie' by David Walliams, in the Grand Theatre. This is helping us to experience authors.
26.09.18
We are LOVING year 6 and we are very excited to watch the 'Awful Auntie'. We learnt so much these past 3 weeks, you could say we are fast learners!!! Last week, we researched so much about the Earth, Moon and the Sun. The Earth takes a year to orbit the Sun and it takes a month for the Moon to orbit the Earth. Mrs Minney, Miss Thomas and Mrs Lewis got very dizzy while demonstrating this!!! With Mr Ellis, we enlarged a part of a picture taken in WW2 for are art topic. -Harrison Shepherd
10.10.18
In Maths, we have been learning about mode, (the number that appears the most) mean (add the numbers and divide by how many there are) and median NOT medium (the number that is in the middle). During English lessons, we are learning about writing an information text based on our interests, e.g. WW2, Marvel, Fashion etc -Logan Lewis
17.10.18
In Topic, we have been working on our information writing skills. Right now we are writing one on Annelies Frank, we have written information about her diary. We can't wait for the Gwili railway trip next week and watching Aladdin in Dylan Thomas. Our first half term in year 6 has been fun packed and manic with ideas and activities!!!!! Can't wait for more!
-Harrison Shepherd
19.12.18
What a term!!!!!! We have learnt sooooo much about WW2. Its been very exciting. Our Gwili railway trip was really fun and it was great to find out how the evacuees felt, leaving their families. Mrs Minney asked all the parents to write a WW2 letter to say goodbye, and I think one of us started crying!! The letters were parents to their children leaving home. It was heart braking. Our Clwyd Pop Up shop is sadly closed but it was very successful. It was a great experience working in the shop and serving customers. We took it in turns and loved every single part.
Its Christmas time and we can't wait for our party, on Thursday. We have planned the food, games and music. Merry Christmas from Harrison Shepherd

Last Friday was a blast! We went to Swansea University to talk about the importance of us going to university and how it's soooooooo much fun! Before, I didn't know anything about Swansea university but not only did I learn about it I also learnt about how exciting it is and the students were friendly. The entire class learnt about it including the teachers. In Topic, we are learning about discussion texts, should mobile phones be banned? and should children have pets? We have been looking at both sides of the question. The River Tawe boat trip was a splash! we sailed from the Marina to the Liberty Stadium and back. We learnt about the history of the river and the cooper industry. It was very interesting. We came back with loads of new facts about water! Did you know that the River Tawe would have been as busy as the M4!!!!!
