Year 6 Classes
Welcome to Year 6
Drake
Welcome to Drake class with Miss Wilde and Mrs Gawu. We are all so excited to be working with the amazing new Drake class. This year, we will be learning about lots of interesting areas across a range of subjects. We will learn in Geography about life in the oceans and the difficulties that they face, such as the rise of plastic pollution. We will also learn about lots of different cultures and the history of different countries, as well as a brand-new style of art (Manga), which is well-known in Asia. In History, we will find out about what life was really like for soldiers fighting in the trenches in WW1, as well as how life was different for those back home too. We will also have lots of opportunities to practise our PE and Art skills, as well as learning how to become a kinder citizen in both our Jigsaw and RE sessions. We can also look forward to our weekly Fri-yay sessions where we will get to try lots of fun new activities and improve our communication skills. This year really will be packed full of fun and learning and is sure to be a fantastic final year at Swingate.
Columbus
Welcome to Columbus class with Miss Mckinnon and Mrs Patel. Just like Christopher Columbus, we cannot wait to start exploring all the new learning opportunities in Year 6! During the year, we will dive into learning about life under the ocean and the impact humans have on sea life, we will explore the Asian culture and even be transported back to 1914 for WW1. Beyond the four walls of our classroom, we are excited to visit the trenches and face our fears at Chessington World of Adventures. In Columbus Class, we will demonstrate bravery, empathy, resilience and responsibility to conquer some of our greatest challenges yet to ensure our last year at Swingate Primary will be the best!
Kingsley
Welcome to Kingsley class with Miss Rokosz. Through the year, we will be learning about many interesting aspects that impact our lives. In Geography, we will learn about the life that happens in the oceans and about the difficulties that the marine creatures have to face, e.g., the plastic pollution, global warming. We will ‘travel’ across Asia to learn about different cultures, countries and their history. In History, we will discover the true picture of what life was like for the British soldiers fighting on the Western Front, as well as how the war changed the circumstances of women back home. Our final year at Swingate will be filled with many opportunities to create lots of memories: visitors, theatre experiences, school trips, Classtonbury and the Leavers Performance are just few to mention. Let’s embrace ourselves for a time of fun and learning - an amazing year to end the primary education here at Swingate.
