Current Topic - Summer Term 5
Year 6 has an exciting term ahead starting with our trip to Science Oxford in the first week back (Wednesday 23rd April 2024) to begin our exciting topic of exploring 'Light'. At the beginning of the term, we will be doing lots of revision in English and Maths to prepare us for our SATs that take place in Week Commencing 12th May 2025. Within our English lessons, we will be exploring the book 'Pandora's Box' in order to write some of our own balanced arguments. This book ties in with our new history topic of the Ancient Greeks. Within our reading sessions, we will read texts related to well-known Greek Gods and Goddesses whilst using our reading skills daily: retrieval practice, prediction, clarification, evaluation and asking questions etc. Towards the end of the term, we will be sharing the name of our Year 6 production with the children and will begin to learn some of the songs and allocate speaking roles to different children. Watch this space!
Reminders and Routines
- Children should be reading at least 5 times a week - please ask them to tell you what they are reading about.
- Children should be practising their time tables - including the related division facts. This could be done using Time Tables Rockstars.
- Children should be learning their spellings every day so that they are known "for life".
- When they come to school, they need to bring a water bottle.
- Take time during the week to complete their homework - they will get a piece of Maths and English each week. You can always check what homework has been set by looking in Google Classroom.
PE Days - Term 5
PE will take place on a Tuesday and Friday (Children should come to school dressed in their PE Kit.)
