We hope that you have all had a relaxing break and that you have managed to get out and about. We have such a lot to look forward to this year and we can’t wait to start ‘cracking on’ with the learning.

In Maths, we will start the term by focussing on the important topic of place value, which includes areas such as rounding number, before moving onto the arithmetic topics until Christmas. In English, there will be a great emphasis this term on getting the children to start their sentences in various ways. We have some lovely texts in Year 6 to help us accomplish this, including Letters from the Lighthouse, which we will use in September. We focus a lot on the teaching of Reading in Year 6, so that the children’s reading is as good as it can be before Secondary School.

For more details about our learning this term, please see the Curriculum Overview.

Thematic

The thematic topic this term is called A World of Bright Ideas. I am sure that the children will be enthused by it as it will inspire their creativity and allow them to show their talents across a range of subjects.

PSHEe, PE, R.E and Science will be taught discreetly.

P.E

PE sessions will be held on the following days:

Week A - Class 13 and Class 14: Thursday

Week B - Class 13: Wednesday and Thursday Class 14: Thursday x 2 sessions

Please remember to have correct PE kit consisting of green or black shorts, a white t-shirt and trainers. Also, a reminder that jewellery must not be worn during PE lessons.

Homework

In Year 6, we would ask that the children’s daily reading records are completed each day and all homework that is set is completed. If your children ever have difficulties completing this, please let us know so we can help.

We also ask the children to use the ‘Reading Buddy’ online resource on a consistent basis to improve their reading and comprehension skills. We will give the children’s usernames and passwords during the first week back.

We look forward to an extremely productive and happy Year 6.
