What will out Year 6 curriculum look like this term? 

Can you believe we've made it to the final term of primary school? It’s an exciting time for Year 6 as we look back on all we've achieved and make the most of our last few weeks together.

This term is going to be full of fun, memories, and special events as we get ready for our next big adventure -  secondary school!

What’s Happening This Term?

We've got lots to look forward to, including:

⭐ Sports Day

🎭 Our Year 6 production and the Wally Cain

🚌  Special activities, including wiht our buddies!

🎉 Leavers' celebrations

🏫 Secondary school transition days

There will be plenty of opportunities to learn, laugh and create memories with our friends before we move on to the next chapter.

We're still working hard in class, but we'll also be enjoying lots of exciting projects and activities. This term is all about showing off the skills we've built throughout primary school and becoming even more independent learners. We'll be exploring Shackleton’s journey in English, learning about light and the circulatory system in science and continuing to explore the life of the Maya. Our geography lessons will enable us to look at globalisation, whilst we'll be studying structures in DT. Our PSHE lessons will support us with transition and we'll be enjoying 'Saving the Butterfly' as part of our No Outsiders unit. What a busy half term we're going to have!

We are so proud of every single one of you. You've worked hard, shown resilience, supported your friends, and grown into fantastic young people. Make the most of every moment this term. Join in, have fun, create wonderful memories and enjoy your final weeks at primary school.

Let's make this a term to remember!

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. 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. Homework mats will be sent out at the start of each term. 

PE

Our PE lessons will take place on Wednesdays with Mrs Garlick. We'll be starting the half term off with OAA. Please come to school in your PE kit on this day. 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.
