Happy New Year! I hope you are all well rested and are looking forward to an exciting, but very busy Spring Term.
In May, Year 6 will sit the statutory KS2 SAT papers. The children will sit six papers in total: Maths (1 arithmetic, 2 reasoning), Reading, Spelling and Vocabulary, Punctuation and Grammar.
PE is on Wednesdays. Please ensure that your child brings the correct PE kit, which can be viewed here and does not have any earrings in.
Spellings will be given out on Friday and will be tested the following Friday. Weekly spellings include several activities to help with learning. I recommend to do one activity and one ‘look, cover…’ per day.
Reading is incredibly important, and is a gateway to the rest of the curriculum. Please try to read for at least 10 minutes daily with your child. If your child is an avid reader – here is a link to 100 recommended reads for your child’s age.
In English, we will be reading ‘Holes’ by Louis Sachar. We will write a short narrative and a formal letter.
In Maths, we will explore problems involving fractions, decimals, and percentages. Pupils will learn to multiply and divide decimals alongside finding percentages of amounts.
Our unit in Science is ‘Animals Including Humans.’ The children will learn about how the heart functions and what they can do to maintain a healthy lifestyle. Furthermore, we will complete investigations into how exercise can affect our pulse rates.
Children will deepen their understanding of the Eucharist and the symbolism associated with it. They will identify the links between the Passover meal, the Last Supper and the Eucharist.
In topic, our primary focus is Geography. We will explore ‘How can we save our planet?’.
