The autumn term is always a busy time for children in Year 6 with lots of new learning taking place as well as consolidating previously learnt skills. English and Mathematics will continue to be taught daily and focus on key writing skills and mathematical calculations. In our science work, we will be studying light. Our Topic lessons are based around The Aztecs, whereby lessons such as History, Geography, ICT, Art and DT will be taught discretely under the term ‘topic’. This will allow for cross-curricular activities to take place and will engage the children, ensuring learning is fun.

 

Please can we remind parents that no jewellery should be worn in school with the exception of stud earrings, and in line with Health and Safety guidelines these should not be worn on PE days, Children may be asked to remove earrings before PE sessions.

 

Year 6 PE sessions are:
Friday (1st term) –  Gym / Dance
Wednesday – Multi sports (games)

 

Please ensure that children have the correct PE kit in school at all times; PE kits can be purchased from the school office. Can we also remind parents that children will need pumps included in their indoor PE kit and trainers included in their outdoor PE kits; children may also want to have some warmer clothes for outdoor P.E. as we move into autumn and winter. Children can bring a piece of fruit to school for their morning snack, which they can enjoy during reading time.

 

Year 6 homework will consist of weekly spellings and home reading. Maths and English homework will be handed out on alternative weeks.  Half-termly family project homework linked to our Topic will also be given out.

 

Should you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact school.

We anticipate a busy and exciting term ahead and we thank you in anticipation of your continued support.

 

Miss Cox and Mrs Stockton
