Hyperion 2022 - 2023
Miss Jones
Welcome to Hyperion
Hello and welcome! You have found your way to the Hyperion class page. On here you'll find key information about our Year 6 classroom and the learning that goes on in there across each term. This year, the children will be taught by myself (Miss Jones) supported by Mrs Lowe on Monday/Wednesday/Thursday/Friday, and Mrs Jones on Tuesday.
Important Classroom Info:
Children in Year 5 and 6 are expected in class for 8:30am, so school gates will be open for them at 8:20am. We know this is a slightly earlier start, so the bagel bus will be open to help them fuel up for the day, and we'll start off our learning gently with a real focus on reading.
During this time, we will be completing either Reading Plus or Guided Reading activities, as well as taking the time to explore stories together to develop our love of all things book related as a class!
The children all have access to Reading Plus and Times Table Rockstars at home, and the more they can pop onto these programmes over the week, the more confident they will become.
PE will be taught on a Thursday afternoon, so please make sure that the class come in dressed appropriately - they can wear their PE kits/sportswear to school and for any sports clubs.

Learning
Our topic for the Autumn term is World at War, and we will be focusing most of our learning on WWII. We'll be learning all about the main causes of war, developing our understanding of 'appeasement', and exploring the lives of people during the Blitz. In science, we will be investigating Forces and linking this to our topic through experiments and investigations whenever possible. We'll also be building model Anderson shelters in DT and working on diary entries and formal award speeches linked to the events of The Holocaust. If you have anything interesting to share linked to our topic, we would love to see/hear it so please do let us know. We will try to post as much work as possible on our Twitter page each day @DPHyperion so make sure you're following us so that you can see what we're upto! You can also find a parent overview for our learning at the bottom of the page!
