Welcome to Year 6!

Who's Who?

Miss White - Class Teacher

Ms Evans - Teaching Assistant (Monday-Thursday)

Reading & Homework

Children should be reading regularly to an adult at home - a minimum of 3 times per week. Children are responsible for changing their own reading book at any suitable time throughout the week. Reading records are checked weekly and the number of times your child has read is noted down. Reading is rewarded with a reading certificate and gold coin after every 30th read. Any work completed at home should aim to cover any areas where your child lacks confidence. Websites are provided below or further practise can be given on request.

PE 

PE lessons will take place every Monday afternoon. Children should come to school wearing their full PE kit (navy/black joggers or shorts, house colour/white t-shirt, and dark jogging top or blue school jumper). If children arrive in the wrong (or no) PE kit, they may be asked to change into a spare school PE kit.

Forest school 

Forest school will take place every Thursday afternoon. Please ensure appropriate kit is brought in to be changed into. Kit should ideally either be clothing that can be put on over uniform, or may be worn under uniform.

Summer Term - 2025

English

In our last Summer half term we will continue to explore a child-friendly version of one of Shakespeare's plays - Macbeth. We will write for various outcomes, including character descriptions and a narrative.

Children are encouraged to write for pleasure outside of school, and we often receive the Young Writers poetry and creative writing competitions which many of our class enjoy writing for.

Maths

We will continue to ensure frequent practise of maths to prepare children for KS3. Maths will be covered more as a project, such as planning holidays using various mathematical skills.

Science

Our unit 'Evolution and Inheritance' will help children to recognise that living things have changed over time and that fossils provide us with information about life millions of years ago.

Children will recognise that living things produce offspring of the same kind, and identify how animals and plants are adapted to suit their environments and how this may lead to evolution.

Geography

'Journey through Europe' is our geography topic for Summer term. It involves learning about certain countries located in Europe, climate zones and time zones. Children will later conduct an independent enquiry into a European country of their choice.
