Fairoak Primary School
Year 6 - Miss Watson
Welcome to our Year 6 class page!
My name is Miss Watson, and I am the class teacher. We are also very lucky to have Mrs Asfar supporting our learning in the mornings across Year 6.
We work together every day, with the other Year 6 class and enjoy learning together as part of the wider Year 6 team.
We can’t wait to see what we can achieve together this year and look forward to lots of exciting learning ahead.

Topic
Our Context this half term is Diversity. Pupils will have an opportunity to explore and celebrate the rich diversity within our school community by exploring each pupil’s unique identity, experiences, and story. Through artwork, writing, and personal reflections, our pupils will create individual “maps” that show who they are, where they come from, and the many influences that shape their lives today.
Parents will be invited into school to visit and exhibition of the children’s work on this topic. A date for this will be shared with parents soon!
Pupils will also be exploring Chemical reactions in Science sessions this half term. Lots of colour changes, fizzing and popping to explore!
Homework
This half-term, I would like the children to focus on their Maths skills and complete Sumdog practice at least 3 times a week for 10 minutes. This will help support and progress their core numeracy skills and help with their learning in their daily Maths sessions.
We would also love the children to interview family members to find out about them. Where did they grow up, what was school like for them, what languages do they speak (are they different or the same as you?) are just a few questions that could be asked, but I’m sure you can think up lots of interesting questions. We would love to hear/see the interviews that happen. These could be shared via Class Dojo or pupils can save these onto our Google Classroom.
