Reading

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. 

Homework

Year 6 children will take home a spelling sheet each Tuesday with their weekly spellings. They will be tested on these spellings the following Monday.

All children have access to Times Tables Rockstars and should be practicing for 10 minutes each day.

Below is our Year 6 Spring Homework Grid, which includes spellings for the term as well as extra pieces of homework- children should choose two per half term, to complete at home and bring in to school.

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.

Spring Term - 2026

English

This term, we are reading 'The Memory Cage' by Ruth Eastham. We will be writing our own leaflet and creating a setting description. In the second half term, we will be reading 'Rose Blanche' by Ian McEwen. We will be writing an informal letter and balanced argument.

Maths

This term, we are learning about decimals. We will then move on to Fractions, decimals and percentages, where children will learn how to convert, order and find equivalents between the three. After that, we will focus on Area, perimeter and volume.

Science

This term, our unit is Living Things and Their Habitats. Children will learn how to classify animals, plants, and some micro-organisms into their kingdom and class. Children will also learn how to describe what a microorganism is and how they spread. Next half term, we will finish off the unit. Children will create their own classification key to classify protists, monera, fungi, animals, and plants (micro-organisms, animals and plants). In addition, they will be asked to justify their classification of a given animal/ plant/ micro-organism based on what they have learnt.

History

This term, our unit is Blitz. Children will learn some of the causes and consequences of World War 2, and investigate what happened during the Coventry Blitz and why Coventry was targeted. In addition, they will learn about the countries involved and significant figures in the war, like Winston Churchill. Children will develop their historical skills in how to interpret and analyse a range of sources/evidence to deduce information about the past.

RE

This term, we will be exploring how our world-view might have an impact on the way we understand death and beyond. Next half term, children will explore what difference the resurrection makes to Christians.

PSHCE
