This terms Caritas Curriculum Learning - PEACE
Our Caritas Theme is Our families and community / Building up the Kingdom of God.
Our topic explores the historical time of the two World Wars and how communities came together in the search for Peace. Our computing searching skills will be put to the test as we search for evidence from the past and begin to understand the way people lived and consider whether war really is justified. Through a closer look at maps in geography we will understand how borders can change in times of war and the impact on people’s communities. In art we will study how art can be used to spread a message and compare it to the use of propaganda used during times of war. During our science we will discover how sound travels to our ears and think about the impact of the sounds of war on the communities where people once lived. Of course, along the way we will read some fabulous books set in that time, explore some poetry of the battlefield and sing some war songs to lift our spirits and consider how music can make us happy including jazz a music form developed in the last century at the time of our study.
Year 6 Caritas Learning Overview
Homelearning
P.E.
Our P.E. lessons will be every Tuesday and Thursday.
Please ensure your child has the correct St. Luke's PE kit. We will still be doing outdoor PE when the weather turns cold, so navy joggers and sweatshirt will be required.
NO JEWELLERY is to be worn for any PE lessons; this includes earrings, bracelets, necklaces and watches.
Other Information
Reading
Please ensure that your child reads daily. They should be reading a variety of fiction and non-fiction books. It is important that they read to an adult/older sibling as often as possible. Please ask your child questions about what they have read and encourage them to give opinions about the book. Reading diaries must be signed by an adult each time they read at home.
Water Bottles
Your child must bring in a water bottle each day. Our water fountains are currently switched off, so water bottles from home are essential. They will bring these home each day.
Home Learning
Home Learning will be given each Wednesday, and is due in the following Tuesday, Each week, your child will be expecte3d to complete a Topic activity (found on the menu inside their Home Learning book and on their Teams account). Children will also have weekly spellings to learn, plus an maths Active Learn activity (if your child is having difficulty accessing their Active Learn account then a paper copy will be sent home).
Please support your child with any Home Learning, getting them into the routine of complete all activities each week. This is great preparation for secondary school.
Walking home
If your child has permission to walk home on their own at the end of the school day it is essential that you provide written consent, which should be handed directly to the class teacher. Children without written consent will not be given permission to walk home on their own.
Birthdays
Please be reminded that children are not to bring in party bags or sweets. Instead, we ask that a book is donated to our school/class library.
