Summer 2
For our pupils in Year 6 this is a very busy final term.
The children will be performing in a musical at the end of the year called 'Porridge’. We are performing our musical at 2pm and 6pm on Tuesday 1st July and 6pm on Thursday 3rd July. The class will also be going on a 3-day Residential Activity Visit to Borwick Hall (7th – 9th).
We hope that the children continue to work hard and behave as we expect our oldest pupils to, right until the end of term.
In R.E. we will be following the topic ‘Called to Serve’, which allows us to reflect on being disciples of Jesus, the Sacraments and ways in which we can serve others. Pupils will continue to prepare their own celebration of the word in addition to this.
In English, we will continue to write for a range of audiences and purposes, with a focus on transition to High School. The children will continue to use the Accelerated Reader programme to support their developing comprehension skills.
In maths the children will focus geometry, exploring shape. Learning from throughout the year will be consolidated. We will also develop both written and mental strategies for the four number operations, increasing in speed and accuracy.
Our science work will be linked with the human body. The children will learn about the functions of the human body including blood, the circulatory system and how to stay healthy.
In history, the children will learn about power, empire and democracy.
In computing, the children will learn to use a micro:bit as a sensor to create a working product.
Lessons in P.S.H.E. will focus on learning about Catholic Social Teaching. The children will also spend some time preparing for the transition to high school, thinking about scenarios they may encounter. Year Six will also take part in Kidsafe lessons.
Learning in Latin will consolidate the year and focus more on the written word.
Work planned for P.E. and games will include orienteering and rounders. Key Stage Two sports day will be held on Monday 23rd June.
Many thanks for your continued support during this very busy and important term.
