Hungerford Primary School

We are Year 6. We have two classes; 6AR, whose teachers are Mrs Allen & Mrs Rahman and 6C, whose teacher is Miss Crook. Read the Year 6 Curriculum letter & Knowledge Organiser for this term and our latest newsletter.

This term Year 6 pupils began their new topic, The Ancient Greeks, with an experience morning and the children designed their own Greek-themed CAM toy.  The children learned about the history of Ancient Greece and how it compares to other ancient civilisations and also to life today.  They also compared the modern and Ancient Olympic Games and learned about the Greek Gods and Greek myths and legends.

Taekwondo teacher, Jason Cooper, came into school to deliver work shops for all year groups at the beginning of term.  Please see some photos below and also of their weekly Forest School session.

This term Year 6 pupils will be learning about climate change and its cause, the use of renewable and non-renewable energy and the impact on climate change on animals and people and their communities.

On Monday 20th September, Year 6 pupils went to Skern Lodge in Devon for a residential stay, accompanied by Mr Mayer, Mrs Allen, Mrs Rahman, Miss Crook, Mrs Gohara & Mrs Eldred.  They spent the week taking part in various outdoor activities including zip wire, high ropes, kayaking, surfing, camp fire & raft building.

The Skern Lodge instructors were asked to focus the activities around our school values. So at various points of the day the children are being asked to think about how the activity may be helping them develop our values of Kindness, Community mindedness, Resilience, Curiosity, Responsibility and Aspiration.  We chose these values because they are not just about school but are the core values which we think it will be good for the children to have in life.  

The children (& staff) had a fabulous week as can be seen in the photographs below and also on The Gallery under 'Our News'.
