Champions: Inventions & Inventors
We are excited to introduce our new class name for Year 6 – Dosbarth Alffa, chosen by the learners themselves! This term, we are thrilled to explore the theme of Champions: Inventors & Inventions. Our focus will be on understanding how inventions have shaped the world, and how our own ideas and creativity can make a difference. Through this theme, students will engage in exploring the cause and effect of real-world inventions, while thinking critically about the potential for personal innovation to create global change.
We are particularly excited to integrate Expressive Arts as the main driver for the term. Students will express their ideas through visual arts, drama, and design, bringing their inventions to life through creative and imaginative projects. Alongside this, we will delve into Humanities and Science & Technology to understand the history and science behind some of the world’s most significant inventions, and their ongoing impact on society.
A key feature of the term will be the exploration of our class book, Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone by J.K. Rowling. This magical story will ignite curiosity and spark our discussions on themes of bravery, friendship, and self-discovery. Through the adventures of Harry, Ron, and Hermione, students will be inspired to think about their own potential to innovate and make a positive impact on the world.
Physical Education remains an essential part of our curriculum, and PE lessons will take place every Tuesday. Please ensure students come prepared in their PE kits to participate in the dynamic activities planned.
Outdoor learning will continue to play an important role in our curriculum this term. It helps students connect with their learning in real-world contexts, enhances problem-solving skills, and supports emotional well-being. Whether exploring the science behind inventions or using nature as a source of inspiration, outdoor learning will be integrated across subjects to encourage resilience, confidence, and creativity.
We are excited about all the discoveries and learning that lie ahead this term. If you have any questions or queries, please don’t hesitate to reach out. Here’s to a term filled with creativity, innovation, and growth!
