• Our PE days this term: 
• Reading records will be checked each Monday.
• Times tables need to be practised regularly.
• Spellings are set each Tuesday to be tested the next week.

Welcome back to the Autumn term and Year 6.  During this term in English we will base a lot of our reading and writing around books written by Lemony Snicket, Anthony Horowitz and R.J. Palaccio.  Our History topic this term is The Victorians and the British Empire; we will experience a day in the life of a Victorian child at school.  Geography investigates the different climate zones around the world and RE looks at the different rituals and rites religions have for birth, life and death.  In Science, we begin with classification and focus on Carl Linnaeus; followed by Evolution and Charles Darwin.  We will again have the benefit of a rugby coach for our Tag rugby lesson, ready for the tournament later this term; we will also be working on building up our endurance for Cross Country.  Andy Warhol and the Pop Art movement is our inspiration for Art this term, and we hope to take part in the Enterprise scheme again.

These are just some of the things we will be covering this term. 

PLEASE GET AN ADULT TO SIGN YOUR RECORD EACH WEEK.

Make sure you comment in your reading record.  I have added some ideas for you to write about below if you are struggling:

• Think about new words you come across.
• Make predictions about events.
• Summarise what you have read.
• Explain why you like a character.
• How is what you are reading similar to something else you have read - make connections.
• Find your favourite sentence and explain why.

• Abacus games are assigned each week. These are linked to the objectives we have covered.  Try to log in and complete each week.
• I have set up a Read Theory log in for you.  This site has reading comprehensions that are adaptive to your reading levels.  They are short pieces to read, with multiple choice questions to answer after.
• Try using 'Hit the Button' to practise your times tables.
