Tolkien Year 6 Class

Welcome to Tolkien Class, a new year 6 class for 2021-22! 

Get ready for a year of awe-inspiring learning linked to our three main topics: ‘Rich and Poor’; ‘Land of the Free’; and ‘Rulers and Activists’. Year 6 is a challenging but exciting year in which you will grow in so many ways academically, emotionally and socially and we feel extremely lucky to be able to spend such a significant time in your lives with you. Already knowing many of you, we are excited to work with such a fabulous bunch and can’t wait to get started. 

A key focus for this year will be developing your independence, growth mindset and resilience in preparation for SATs and the transition to secondary school in September. Whether you are excited, nervous or a mixture of the two, we promise we will do all we can to give you the best final year at Harpenden Academy with many opportunities to make memories you’ll cherish for the rest of your life.  

We look forward to a year of fun and exciting year with you. 

Mrs Stanger and Mrs Duncan
