The pupils in Year 6 are developing into well-motivated, hardworking students. They are expected to exhibit the highest possible standards of behaviour and schoolwork. We will continue to encourage your children to develop personal organisational skills, self-discipline and a greater degree of independence. During this term we will be revising work in preparation for our SATs in May – week beginning 11.05.26.

In R.E. Year Six will be following the topic 'Exploring the Mass’. They will explore the different parts of Mass and the meanings behind them. Children will continue to prepare their own collective worship as well as saying the more formal prayers. 

In English, the children will learn about classic fiction using the novel ‘The Wizard of Oz’. For the second half of term, children will write a persuasive piece: A formal review. As always, the children will work consistently towards a high standard of cursive handwriting.  

Please continue to hear your child read out loud at least 3 times a week and sign their reading records each time. English homework will continue to be given on Mondays and Wednesdays. 

During maths lessons, the children’s work will include converting measures, ratio and algebra. They will also continue to develop their understanding of fractions and decimals.

Maths homework will continue to be given on Fridays. 

The science unit of work this half term is light. The children will participate in experiments and draw conclusions from their findings. They will explore shadows, reflects, vision and visual impairments.

In geography lessons, the children will be focusing on migration, both voluntary and forced.

In design technology, the children will explore sustainable systems. They will look at the life cycle of a product and design a sustainable system.

In computing, the children will develop their coding skills using Scratch. They will improve a game and eventually design and code their own game.

P.E. lessons will continue to develop their skills in tag rugby. The children will also build upon their gymnastic skills. The children will also complete their ‘Bikeability’ course: week commencing 9^th February.

In Latin, the children will follow the Minimus scheme.

I look forward to your support during this busy term.
