Welcome to the Year 6 class page.

Our teacher is Mrs Smith.

Our Teaching Assistant is Mrs Bradley 

• Our PE days this term:  Currently Friday – awaiting cricket coaching dates
• Reading records will be checked each Monday.
• Times tables need to be practised regularly.
• Spellings are set each Tuesday, and we will look at the new rule in class.  A homework sheet is given to each child on a Thursday – to be returned by the following Monday.

Welcome back to the summer term – fingers crossed for some sunshine.

During our English lessons, we will be reading and writing using the stimuli of 'Tuesday' by David Weisner; 'Carrie's War' by Nina Bawden, 'Midnight Feasts' by A.F. Harrold and 'The Explorer' by Katherine Rundell.  Our Maths will involve us applying our Maths skills to solve a variety of problems and explaining our reasoning.  History this term will be based around the events leading up to the Second World War and what happened to the United Kingdom during this time.  In Geography, we will be looking at the continent of North America and how the countries vary from Great Britain.  We will be looking for inspiration through our RE unit on inspiring people and how their faith has inspired them. With the weather hopefully remaining warm, our PE lessons will mainly be outside, with an outside coach coming in to train us in cricket, practising, and preparing our athletic skills ready for our final sports day.

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.
