Mr Lewis C11
Welcome to Class 11
with Mr Lewis and Mrs Garcia
Welcome to Spring Term!
Welcome back. We have a very exciting topic for us to get our teeth stuck in to. 'Pits and Ponies' will focus on the Coal mining in Wales, a very prosperous time for the country. Within this topic, we will explore:
- the history of coal mining
- mining strikes
- miners families and communities
- major events
- the legacy and future
If you have any family history of working in the coal mines then we would love to hear about it.

Pits and Ponies Overview
Class Information - Mr Lewis
PE days : Tuesday & Thursday - Pupils are to wear P.E. kits into school on this day.
PPA- Mrs Morgan will cover Year 6 PPA every Wednesday for half a day.
Reading books : Every child has been provided with reading material in the form of a comic, novel, annual etc from the school. We enjoy these during reading individual and group reading. They will also have a book they can take home, and change every Wednesday. If you could help and encourage your child to read for pleasure whilst at home that would be really beneficial.
Year 6 will be using Google's G-suite for education to enhance their learning and complete tasks both in school and at home. Your children have their account details and work will be set via Google Classroom. Below is a useful link to see the benefits of using this platform and for those who are unsure.

A siren sounds, a building crumbles, a Spitfire zooms overhead. Take cover. It’s 1939 and Britain is at war. We will be researching WW2 and completing activities linked to the Blitz, evacuees, rations and we will be making our own Anderson shelters.
We will also be having a WW2 workshop, which will include cooking and practical activities.
