RE
The Story of the People of God
In this unit children will be given opportunities to develop their knowledge and understanding of the structure of the Bible and the forms of literature that are found in the different books. The children will be introduced to stories of significant people in the Old Testament. They will discover what some of these stories tell us about their relationship with God.
Creation
This unit outlines some key beliefs about the creation of human beings and the creation of the world. It introduces the children to the story of creation as a way of explaining that God is creator, rather than a re-telling of the order of the created world. It will help teachers to reflect with the children on their God given talents and living their lives in response to the teaching of Christ.
Class Texts
The Year 6 class text for this half term is Journey to the River Sea by Eva Ibbotson.
PE
This half term, the children have the opportunity to enhance their swimming abilities. This will be taking place on a Tuesday. Please make sure that children have their P.E. kit within school from Monday to Friday as the children will have opportunity for physical activity that will focus on a range of strength, fitness and “discipline-specific” skill based sessions, advancing based on progression across the term.
