Year 6
Our topic for Summer 1 is ‘Dream Catchers’
In English, we will be developing our skills in writing narratives that have clear links between their openings and endings. Our class book will be ‘The Secret Garden’ by Frances Hodgson Burnett and some of our writing will be inspired by this text. Towards the end of the Summer Term, we will be reading poetry and writing our own poetry containing personification. When your child writes at home, please encourage them to draft, edit and then publish it in neat handwriting. Asking them to read it aloud will help with this.
In Maths, some of the topics we will be covering include: shape, angles, area, perimeter and volume. Children will also be taking part in an Enterprise Week where they design, cost and create an innovative item to sell at the Summer Fair. Towards the end of the term, the children will be solving a range of problems using a variety of strategies.
In Reading, we will be using our core book to explore how authors develop characters and how they create empathy towards certain characters. We will be reading non-fiction texts about notable artists and scientists, thinking about the bias created by the authors.
Our Science this term our topic is Light. We will be learning how the human eye sees, how light travels in a straight line and the relationship between the angle of incidence and the angle of reflection.
In RE we will be learning about Christianity and some of the challenges Christians may face in modern life
In PE: Children will take part in a range of Athletics to prepare for Sports Day and Outdoor Adventurous Activities, aimed at developing problem solving and team building skills.
