About Our Class:

This is where you will find all the information you need to know about what we will be doing in Year 6; a celebration of our learning; a way for us to show you our excellent progress.  There is so much to look forward to this year, including being stretched and challenged, an exciting curriculum, trips, and an end-of-year production. Our last year at our wonderful school will be our best one yet. 

Remember: it's really important to be at school every day, on time, and ready to learn.

What are we learning?

This term is such an important term. Our children are taking their first step towards secondary school by enjoying learning that will support them in their transition into Year 7. In Maths we are consolidating learning from Year 5 and preparing them to answer questions that they will come across in their Year 6 SATS papers. We learn about test techniques. Within English, we are focusing on writing for a specific audience. We will be using a range of novels as a stimulus, as we believe reading is an integral part of the writing process. 

PE information: 

Our school P.E. days are Tuesdays and Thursdays. Children need to wear their P.E. kits to school on that day. 

Homework:

In Key Stage 2 (KS2), we will send home six project-based tasks linked to the curriculum. This topic homework can be completed at your own pace and submitted upon completion or during the last week of the half term. To encourage participation, students can earn certificates based on the number of tasks they complete: 2 pieces for a Bronze Certificate, 4 for a Silver Certificate and 6 for a Gold Certificate. All certificates will be awarded in class during the final week of the half term.

In addition to the project tasks, children are expected to read regularly at home, at least three times a week, practice their times tables weekly using Times Table Rock Stars, and finally, practice their weekly spellings.
