Welcome to the Year 6 class page.

Our teacher is Mrs Smith.

Our Teaching Assistant is Mrs Westmore (Mon, Tues & Fri).

• Our PE days this term: Thursday /Friday
• Reading records will be checked each Monday.
• Abacus games are set each week.
• Spellings are set each Tuesday to be tested the next week.

The sun will hopefully shine, so it must be the Summer term.  During our English lessons, we will be reading and writing using the stimuli of 'Carrie's War' by Nina Bawden; 'Tuesday' by David Wiesner and 'The Explorer' by Katherine Rundell .  Our Maths will involve us revising and applying all our mathematics skills to solve a variety of problems.  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 to 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, along with also practicing, and preparing our athletic skills ready for our final sports day.

There are many activities booked in for the final term, particularly once we have completed our week of statutory assessments.  We will visit Wellington Prep for a Science lesson linked to our Heart and Circulation unit.  This year’s production is looking to be ‘Pirates of the Currybean'', so there will be pirate accents to practise and lines to be learnt.

We are looking forward to making this an excellent final term in Year 6.

ABACUS: Bubble Pop

I have sent home a homework pack to be returned completed on Tuesday 22nd April.  Instructions are stapled to the front of the pack.

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.

Spellings: We will complete the spelling test from the CGP pack after Easter.

Abacus: Function machine and worksheet.
