Helpful information…

 

PE

 

The children will have PE on Tuesdays and Thursdays. They will need their full kit (white t-shirt, black/blue shorts or jogging bottoms, and pumps or trainers) with them on both of these days. Kits will be sent home at the end of each week to be washed. 

 

Homework

 

Children will be asked to complete three pieces of homework each week: 

 

1) 3 x 15-minute reads with an adult signing their reading record to show this. Reading records will be checked on a Friday morning. 

2) Practise times tables in order to complete their Times Table Passport and to help with their fluency in maths lessons. 

3) Spellings: children will be given 10-12 spellings each week to practise for a spelling test which will take place on a Friday morning. 

 

The children will have access to TTRS, Bug Club and Spellingframe which will all aid their learning at home. They have been provided with their usernames and passwords for each of these sites and these can be found at the front of their reading records.

Transcription

As you are aware, Year 6 is the end of Key Stage 2. This means there is an expectation that they can read and spell all the National Curriculum common exception words from Year 3, 4, 5 and 6. SATs in May will be assessing the children’s learning from Key Stage 2, not just their new learning from Year 6. Therefore, it is essential the children revisit spelling rules and lists from previous year groups to over learn.

The Kite Rider by Geraldine McCaughrean and The Firework Makers Daughter by Philip Pullman

Read for pleasure and read to learn!

This half term, the Year 6 topic focus is: ‘What is special about Ancient China?’ To support the children’s historical and geographical knowledge and understanding about Ancient China, in our daily guided reading sessions we will be reading and discussing these two books. As the children contribute to quality text discussions they will have the opportunity to further develop and improve their reading skills focusing on the seven Key Stage 2 content domain areas below.

2a Define it!

2b Find it!

2c Summarise it!

2d Infer it!

2e Predict it!

2f Relate it!

2g Explore it!

2h Compare it!

If you enjoy reading these texts, why not explore other interesting reads by these two established authors, find books lists on their websites.

The Willow Tree Pattern Fable

Read for pleasure and read to learn!

This half term, the Year 6 topic focus is: ‘What is special about China?’ To support our historical and geographical knowledge and understanding about China, in our English lessons we will be exploring the Willow Tree Pattern fable identifying the themes that run throughout the story.

 

Place value and number

Place value is the first mathematics unit in Year 6. The place value mats below show some of the expectations in this area of mathematics for Year 5 and 6.

It is very important the children are secure in this area of maths because having great confidence in knowing and working with whole and decimals numbers underpins lots of other areas of mathematics.

Four operations

Addition, subtraction, multiplication and division is the second mathematics unit in Year 6. The 'four operations' mats below show some of the expectations in this area of mathematics for Year 5 and 6.

Within this unit the children will be able to use and apply their knowledge and understanding of place value when: adding, subtracting, multiplying and dividing.
