Year 6
Welcome back Year 6, we hope you have had a fantastic Christmas break and that you are looking forward to returning to school.
Our topic focuses for the Spring term are going to be Frozen Kingdom (Geography), Evolution and Inheritance (Science), Room 13 (Guided Reading), Decimals and Percentages (Maths), Parinirvana (RE) and many more exciting topics in English, French and PE.
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. To further this, our PSHE focus will be on 'Dreams and Goals' both in the immediate future and long-term future. 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 term. 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 (1000 coins minimum) and completing SATs bootcamp weekly. Remember to check Google Classroom for which SATs bootcamp topics you should be completing.
During the Spring term we will also be having a Science week and a French day.
Our PE topics are Badminton and Gymnastics (Spring 1) and OAA and Tennis (Spring 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 all back,
Mrs Arends, Mrs Hastings and Mr March
