Curriculum:

During the Summer term, Year 6 Maths lessons will be focussing on geometry, measure and revision leading up to SATs. Post SATs children will take part in various math-based learning activities based on previous learning.

In English, our focus will be on writing a descriptive passage based on the setting from a book we have previously used, Thornhill. We also will be revising the grammar taught over the previous months in the lead up to SATS. Post SATs, children will study Poetry and a non-fiction text based on Darwin’s Theory of Evolution.

Within Science this term, the children will be learning about water transportation within the human body. Then they will be exploring evolution and inheritance which links nicely to our English text. During the final term we will be learning about electricity.

In Religious Education, Year 6 will be learning about Judaism. Our PSHE sessions will focus on relationships and changing Me.

During our ICT lessons, the children will be exploring variables in games and designing creative programmes.

Our music lessons will focus on improvising with confidence and exploring the topic Farewell Tour. During our French lessons we will look at healthy lifestyles and the planets.

Reading at Home:

All children are expected to read regularly every week to an adult and have it signed in their planner by an adult at home. Every five reads earns a merit. When they have read 25 times, they will receive a golden ticket  which will be placed in a prize draw at the end of each half term.

Home/School Planner:

Could you please ensure that your child brings their home/school planner in to school every day. Please feel free to write any comments in it.

Every Friday your child will bring their planner home which will have been signed by their teacher. This should be countersigned by the parent/carer and returned to school again on Monday morning. Children will receive a merit for planners that have been signed when returned on Monday.

Our Classroom Rules:

• Be respectful.
• Maintain a clean learning environment.
