Current Topic - Term 5

Year 6 has an exciting term ahead. In our Science lessons, we will be exploring the topic of '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 11th May 2026. 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. Our Music lessons will also follow with the topic of the Ancient Greeks, whereby we will explore the structures of different pieces of music, learn the lyrics to songs and rehearse in order to perform. 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 begin to complete transition activities in preparation for leaving primary school and moving on to secondary school. In our latter Maths and Science lessons, we will familiarise ourselves with Scientific calculators in preparation for secondary school: squaring numbers, square rooting numbers, cubing numbers and calculating fractions etc. 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
