Rode Heath Primary SchoolYear 6 2024 - 2025
Mr Scott
I am really pleased to be working at Rode Heath Primary School teaching Year 6 and being part of the wider community. I have been teaching in Cheshire for fourteen years and enjoy creating new and exciting learning opportunities.
I love watching and taking part in a variety of sporting activities. In my spare time I enjoy playing football, tennis and golf. One of my favourite places to play golf is in Dumfries and Galloway, near to Kirkudbright, even though I lose a lot of golf balls!
Mrs Yates
I am excited to be working with your children. It is important to me that every child feels included and supported (and has some fun along the way!).
I have three children and a large Labrador! There isn't a lot of spare time but when I can I enjoy reading, going for walks and I love to visit the Seaside!
Welcome to Year 6
Welcome back! We hope you have had a lovely holiday and enjoyed spending time with your loved ones.
We have an exciting term ahead. During this next term, our focus is about Planet Earth and the wonders that is possesses. Lessons will consist of exciting and engaging content from the entire curriculum. To help explore this theme, the topic book for the first half term is: Shackleton's Journey. The book is beautifully illustrated by William Grill and shows the epic true story of how Shackleton and his crew managed to survive crossing the frozen heart of Antarctica.
We will also be following our Maths - No Problem! scheme of work, which incorporates lessons linking to real-life problems. Furthermore, it ensures that topics are covered from previous years so that children have a great understanding of maths and how it can be applied.
Alongside all of this, we are very much aware of the importance of children being happy, safe and secure in school and to help us do this, we follow our Hearts and Minds curriculum. More information about our Hearts and Minds curriculum can be found using this link: Hearts and Minds.
Thank you for your continued support. It is going to be a great year!
