Welcome to Magellan class

The Portuguese-born navigator, Ferdinand Magellan, was one of the great explorers of his era - the first European to cross the Pacific Ocean, he also played a crucial role in the first circumnavigation of the world. Did you know that Magellan named the ocean the Pacific? He chose this name, meaning 'peaceful', because it was calm and pleasant when he entered it.

Autumn Term - A World of Bright Ideas, In Your Element, Wars of the World

We start Year 6 with a communication project, A World of Bright Ideas, that looks at inventions and developments.

In Your Element focuses on Earth, Air, Fire and Water through a geography lens.

Lastly, we move on to the conflict driver with Wars of the World, taking a look at wars past and present.

We hope to make the children's final year at our school as exciting as possible and will make sure we share their learning with you regularly.

PE
Our PE days are Wednesday and Friday. Please come to school in your kit on those days. Remember your outdoor trainers, to tape up earrings if you wear them and a bobble for long hair. We do PE in most weather (don't worry, we do stop when it gets too rainy, but not if it's cold) so please dress accordingly.
