Welcome back after what we hope was a relaxing Christmas break. Happy New Year to you all. We hope that you have had a lovely Christmas and that the children are looking forward to getting stuck into their learning.
The Year 6 Team are looking forward to another exciting term, which will provide a lot of new learning experiences as we focus more on the SATs that lie ahead. The daily completion of reading diaries is still expected to be done to a high standard and we also need the children to continue to use the ‘Reading Buddies’ online resource on a consistent basis to improve our reading and comprehension skills.
The children now all have CGP revision books as preparation for the upcoming SATs in May and these books cover all areas of learning that are vital for your child’s learning. Pages will be set each week and must be completed and brought into school daily. Failure to do so will result in your child completing the work during break times or lunch times. We would also encourage you to listen to your child read and ask them questions based on what they have read to ensure understanding. Children are expected to complete a task in their reading journals at least once weekly.
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
Class 13 – Thursday Week A and Wednesday Week B
Class 14 – Thursday Week A and Thursday Week B
(Please remember to have your outdoor PE kit consisting of: jogging bottoms, outdoor trainers and a jumper/jacket. 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 look forward to an extremely productive and happy Year 6.
