What will our Year 6 curriculum look like this term? 

This term, we will step back in time to explore World War II, with our English learning brought to life through the powerful text 'Rose Blanche'. We will explore ideas of illusion and perspective through Art, while our Science learning will help us discover the fascinating world of Electricity. Alongside this, we will develop our understanding of Islam and continue to place PSHE and wellbeing at the heart of our learning, supported by our No Outsiders texts as we celebrate diversity, inclusion and belonging. The most exciting part of all will be BUDDIES! Our Buddy sessions will give us opportunities to build friendships, share experiences and learn from one another across our school community.

Throughout the term, our learning and relationships will be underpinned by our two key values: Respect and Thankfulness

Please take a look at our Curriculum Overview which outlines the topics studied in each half term! 

Key Information 

Homework: Times Tables, Reading and Spellings

Please try to practise spellings and times tables every day. Spellings will be given out at the start of each half term and tested on Fridays.

Reading should be part of your weekly routine - ideally every night, even if just for five minutes. The minimum expectation is three times per week (including during half terms). Remember to have your reading record signed by an adult, but you are also welcome to add your own comments. Reading records will be checked every Friday, and you are responsible for changing your own reading book.

Maths and English homework will be set weekly through CGP books. Homework mats will be sent out at the start of each term. 

PE

Our PE lessons will take place on Mondays with Emma. An additional PE lesson will take place on Friday afternoons with Neil. Please come to school in your PE kit on these two days. Remember to remove or cover any jewellery, including watches and earrings, and tie up long hair. You may bring a roll-on deodorant only.

Swimming lessons will take place on Thursdays for 10 weeks. A letter will be sent home when the lessons are due to start. Please note that no jewellery, including earrings, is permitted. Swimming caps are available to buy from the school office for £2.
