Welcome to Class 10
As we embark on an exciting and transformative term, our Year 5/6 class is set to explore topics that not only expand our knowledge but also challenge us to think critically and creatively. This term, we will journey through the history of World War II, learning about the courage, resilience, and sacrifices that shaped the world we live in today. We will explore Brazil’s rich culture, vibrant landscapes, and its role in the global community, while also discovering how electricity powers our lives and fuels the future.
In English, we will hone our persuasive writing skills, crafting powerful letters that influence, inspire, and inform. We will learn to communicate with clarity, emotion, and logic as we express our ideas and take action on the issues that matter most.
Our aim is not just to learn facts, but to understand the connections between history, geography, science, and the world we live in. Together, we will ask questions, seek answers, and build the skills to become thoughtful, responsible global citizens.
Through these subjects, we will develop not only knowledge but also the skills to think independently, work collaboratively, and share our voices with confidence. This is a year of discovery, growth, and achievement – let’s make the most of every moment and inspire one another to reach new heights.
Let’s embrace the challenges ahead, and be ready to create, question, and explore – together, we will make this term one to remember!
