Times tables are still an important area of work for our year six children.  It can be a limiting factor to their progress through their maths work.  Instant, correct, recall of facts is so important.  Please encourage your children to log on weekly.

Next Term's Wider Curriculum Overview

It’s time to suspend your disbelief and open your mind. We’re going on a magical journey to Alchemy Island! Slight of hand, or a trick of light?  Or was is a flick of the wrist and a whispered charm that set things in motion? And while we’re talking magic, let’s master the ancient art of alchemy - science or medicine? How would you like to be cured? Discover the grotesque, or down-right bizarre, medical marvels. But hold your nose - you don’t want the bad air making you sick. And if you smell a rat, my friend – get out of there!

Two quick updates:

Year 6 children need to be in school for 8:00am on Friday 6th December for the museum trip. Please remember packed lunches and snacks.  We are expecting to be back between 3:30 and 4pm.  If we are going to be late we will update via text or our socials.

Maths work has been posted on to the EducationCity website.  Details of Kandinsky's logins have been sent home, Shakespeare's to follow.

Any problems please let me know.

War and Peace is this term's topic.

A siren sounds, a building crumbles, a Spitfire zooms overhead. Take cover! It’s 1939 and Britain is at war. Deep down in the Anderson shelter, learn why nations are fighting and why child evacuees must make the long journey from their homes and families into unknown territory. Read the Rose Blanche, written about a child's experiences in war-torn Germany, and try to empathise with her dilemmas and fears. Delve deep into a bygone era, when loose lips sank ships. And, as peace is declared, let’s get ready to celebrate. Mr Churchill says ‘It’s an unconditional surrender!’

Homework

Homework will be set every week on Wednesdays and is due in the following Monday.  We will be marking it as a whole class together.  The homework will always be closely related to the concepts we have studied the previous week, so will be a good chance to revise and for children to explain to their grown ups what they have been learning!

This week it is:

Maths p.6

English p.82 + 83

Next week, year 6 pupils will be taking part in PIXL testing.  There will a reading test, a grammar test, a spelling test and three mathematics tests spread throughout the week. These are intended to highlight areas of weakness or gap in the children's learning so that we can fill those gaps and prepare them for the SAT tests in the summer.  We will be reporting back to parents once the data has been returned which is expected during the first week of October. 

If you have any questions about them, please ask the class teacher or Mr Badger. Thank you for your co-operation.

This term we will be covering a topic based on the Frozen Kingdom.

Welcome to the planet’s coldest lands. Vast wilds and hostile territories – incredibly beautiful, yet often deadly. Take shelter from the elements or fall prey to icy winds and the deepest chill. Be alert, for magnificent mammals roam these lands, sometimes hungry or fresh for a fight. Perhaps a hungry polar bear or an Arctic fox is hunting rodents, as swift as the wind! Research facts of climate, temperature, habitats and ecosystems, and follow in Shackleton’s footsteps as we ‘Endeavour’ to explore this treacherous landscape.
