Welcome to Encore’s Webpage! 🌟
Hey there! Welcome to Encore, where every day is an adventure in learning, creativity, and teamwork. We’re a kind, creative, and hardworking class that loves diving deep into new topics, whether it’s through hands-on projects or challenging ourselves with new ideas. If you're looking for a sneak peek into what makes us tick, you've come to the right place!
🗣️ “Our class is such a fun place to be. Everyone is kind to each other.”
“I love Friday mornings when we get to do P4C, choir or outdoor learning and our G&T groups.” 🗣️
Meet the Dream Team! 💬
In Encore, we are super lucky to have Mrs. Parsley guiding us through most mornings and afternoons and we work closely with the amazing Miss Rowden who teaches the other Year 6 class, Finale. But the fun doesn’t stop there! Miss Attewell works alongside us, making sure we’re always feeling supported and ready to take on new challenges. Plus, we have a whole team of other specialist teachers who pop in with their own passion for subjects like art, French, PE, science and more. There’s never a dull moment when you’re learning from people who really love what they do!
A Glimpse into Our Day 📅
Curious about what we do? Here's a quick overview:
Every Morning kicks off with culture connoisseurs before collective worship to start our day together, followed by English, spelling, and maths. Our English lessons are packed with challenging activities like reading comprehension, extended writing, and mastering tricky grammar rules inspired by our brilliant core texts. We even challenge ourselves to sneak our new spelling words into our stories!
Maths time is a brain workout! We’re all about solving real-world problems and becoming fluent in arithmetic, and our teachers – Mrs. Parsley and Miss Rowden – keep things fun and engaging with lots of challenges.
What Makes Encore Unique? 🎨⚽🔬
Every week is filled with exciting lessons led by specialist in their subjects. Here’s a snapshot of our week:
🔬 Mondays – We alternate between science with Mrs. Jones, where we dive into the world of experiments and investigations, and PE with our coaches, building skills in sports like gymnastics.
🎨 Tuesdays – Time to get creative with either art led by Mrs. Lockhart or RE with Mrs. Bradbury. We explore not just Christianity but also a range of world religions, finding the common threads between them.
🌍 Wednesdays – We prepare ourselves for life in Modern Britain during life skills with Mrs. Parsley and dive into French with Madame Bastable, practising our conversational French. In life skills, we even hold elections to learn about democracy whilst engaging with our fundamental British Values.
🎭 Thursdays – The spotlights on! Our performing arts lessons are a whirlwind of music, dance, and drama, with our expert teachers Miss Rowden, Claire, and Carrie, which prepares us for our end-of-year production at the Hexagon Theatre.
💻 Fridays – We round off the week with either history, geography, or computing. By the end of the year, we’ll be pros at programming – watch this space!
Life in Year 6 🚀
Year 6 is all about growing into independent, resilient learners. We’re preparing for the next big adventure – secondary school – with confidence, skills, and memories that will last a lifetime. From our residential trip to Osmington Bay, exciting trips and Year 6 SATs, we’re gearing up for whatever comes next!
🌟 Stay tuned for updates and exciting news from Encore! We’ve got a year full of fun, laughter, and lots of learning ahead. 🌟
