Year 6

We hope you have had a fantastic Summer Holiday and are looking forward to a new school year.

We are excited to share our new topics with you, such as Frozen Kingdom, Maafa , The Circulatory System, Evolution and Inheritance, Food, Rosh Hashanah and Our Changing World.

Throughout our curriculum this term, we will be continuing our development of a Growth Mindset to enable us to approach all aspects of life with resilience, respect and tolerance. We will focus on the British value of Democracy, using debate and listening skills, as well as understanding the significance of voting throughout our core and foundation subjects.

The homework expectations remain the same as last year. You will have weekly spellings, which will be tested on a Friday. In your spelling book, you will need to practise your spellings to ensure you have learnt them in preparation for the weekly test. You will need to read at home at least three times a week and your planner will need to be signed by an adult. You should be using Times Tables Rock Stars regularly. Remember to check Google Classroom regularly for extra practice of key skills and revision using SATs boot camp and Active learn.

During the autumn term we will also be having a Geography Week and an Art Week and our PE topics are Hockey and Fitness (Autumn 1) and Dance and Netball (Autumn 2).

Your PE days are:

6 Gold (Mrs Arends) – Wednesday and Thursday

6 Ochre (Mrs Hastings) – Tuesday and Wednesday

6 Amber (Mr March) - Monday and Friday

We look forward to seeing you.

Mrs Arends, Mrs Hastings and Mr March
