Year 6
English: We will be developing our skills by writing a commentary for a podcast – this will really challenge the children as it is not something they have ever done before! 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.
Maths: Some of the topics we will be covering include: shape, angles, area, perimeter and volume. Towards the end of the term, the children will be solving a range of problems using a variety of strategies.
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.
Science: Our Science 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.
RE: We will be learning about the end of life: children will be revisiting what they have learnt and learning about how people support those who are grieving. Please contact Miss Haigh or your child’s class teacher if you would like to discuss the topic further.
Art: After Arts Weeks, we will be using collage to create self-portraits.
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. Please check the website to check PE kit expectations.
RSE: Children will be recapping what they learnt in Year 5 linked to puberty. They will then be learning about sexual intercourse, different ways to conceive a baby and different types of families.
