Year 6
Our topic for Spring 2 is Dangerous Places. Children will be developing the knowledge they gained in Year 4 in relation to natural disasters.
English: We will be developing our skills in writing narratives that contain action and perfecting our dialogue writing skills. We will practise using different sentence structures to help us achieve fast-paced action and write our own narrative, drawing inspiration from our core book ‘The Silver Sword’ and our previous book, ‘The Girl of Ink and Stars’. When your child writes at home, please encourage them to draft, edit and then publish it in neat handwriting. Reading it aloud with them will help with this.
Maths: The first three weeks of term will be spent reminding the children what fantastic mathematicians they are. Please remember to support your child with their use of Mathletics and Times Tables Rockstars. If your child would like more tasks, please speak to their class teacher.
Reading: We will be using our core book to explore how authors develop characters, create action-filled scenes and use language to convey meaning.
Science: Our Science this term will be centred around a STEM project. STEM stands for Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics. Children will be exploring flight and the forces at work during flight in order to design, create, test, evaluate and re-create a glider. Children will be drawing on lots of prior learning and knowledge to work in collaborative groups.
RE: We will be learning about Christianity and the teachings of Jesus
Art: This half term will see the start of our annual Arts Weeks. The focus this year is Kindness. Children in Year 6 have a focus of 3D art.
PE: Children will take part in a range of Outdoor Adventurous Activities, aimed at developing problem solving and team building skills.
If you want to speak to someone about the Year 6 curriculum please contact the Year 6 Team Leader, Miss Haigh, who will be more than happy to answer any questions you may have.
