Year 6
Welcome to Year 6
Teacher: Mr. Williams
TA: Mrs. Mitchell
English
We will continue to focus on all of our" National Curriculum Objectives and Age-Related Expectations." We will be looking at some grammar expectations within year 6 and then applying them to a first-person narrative and a non-fiction text about our history topic.
Maths
We will follow the White Rose Small Steps and continue our journey from year 5 into year 6 by revising and then building upon knowledge of place value and then into addition and subtraction. We will also be starting more arithmetic sessions to build up a secure understanding of the procedural approach to tackle these types of questions.
Reading
We will be reading a range of texts within the reading lessons as well as promoting reading for pleasure throughout the week. Our class novel is Letter from the Lighthouse by Emma Carroll, which is a book based during WWII and it has links to Plymouth and Devon. Within our lessons, we will be looking at a range of interesting texts linked to our WWII topic and answer a range of questions based upon them. Additionally, we will be undertaking more SATs-style questions in preparation for our assessments in the future.
Science
We will be looking at electricity and how circuits are made or broken. We will then look at adaptations in animals and plants.
Please see our Topic Webs for information on all of our curriculum areas.
Our PE is Tuesday (inside) and Wednesday (outside).
We look forward to working with all the children in Y6 and their families in this final year of primary school.
