Welcome to year 6 everyone!  This term we are going to be starting our year 6 learning journey.   In English, children will be learning a range of creative literary devices through Alma. In addition to this, we will be reading Kensuke's Kingdom. We will continue to develop our understanding of grammar, focussing on clauses as well as consolidating our spelling patterns.

In science, we will learn about electricity. We will be finding out about circuits and how to change the brightness of a bulb.


Key Information:

Reading

Please can you make sure that your child reads to you at least twice a week and sign their reading book to show that this has happened. As a reward for this, children will get stickers on our reading leader boards. 

PE  

PE Day: Friday

Please note: Children should come to school in their PE kits on PE day.  They will spend all day in these so they do not need to bring school uniforms.

Homework

Homework will be set on a Friday and will consist of times tables rockstars, spelling and reading. We strongly recommend that you encourage children to complete it as it is extremely important in their learning journey. 

Times Tables Rockstars

Each child has an account that they can access at home - there is also a 'Times tables Rockstars' app that you can download to your phone or tablet. It has been proven that those children who use these perform better in school and in tests.
