Sharks (Year 6) 2020 - 2021

Welcome to Sharks class page!

Welcome To Term 5 Sharks

Welcome back!

This term we will be beginning our Transition work!

We will be doing this through a variety of texts abut concentrating on on the books of authors such as Louis Sachar.

We will be thinking about the changes that the Sharks are going to go through over the coming months; looking at stories about change and their transition to secondary school.

Our science and PHSE will center around the change the children will be going through physically and mentally in the coming years
