Year 6 - Gabriel and Bowie
Welcome to Year 6
The Year 6 team (led by Mrs Jenner and Mr Dack) are delighted to be part of your child's learning experience as they enter Year 6 and move towards the end of their time with us at Oldfield Park Junior School. We are here to support your children and you as parents in any way possible. If you have any questions or queries, please don't hesitate - pop in for a chat, give us a ring or drop us an email and we'll get back to you as soon as possible.
Weekly Timetable:
Below you will find an example of one of our weekly timetables.
Term Four - "Who Were the Vikings?"
Hired by the BBC, the children have been commissioned to research and produce a documentary about the Viking people and their impact on the British Isles. Our investigation begins immediately culminating in a hectic two week scripting and shooting schedule at the end of the term.
Spelling Revision - Every Spelling 2015-2022
Please find below a copy of the spelling list containing every spelling used in SATs test between 2015 and 2022. The words in black have been included in the test, and the words in grey are words of a similar pattern. We are looking at these as a class, learning the spellings and having "fun" spot "quizzes" over the coming weeks. We may conduct longer tests at the end of each week.
