Always Aiming High
Welcome to our first term in Year Six,
I hope you have all enjoyed the summer break and are ready to work hard this term! We have lots to learn and I am very excited about the topics we will be covering over the year. There will be a huge focus upon number strategies this half term; everybody must have quick recall of their times tables (in and out of order) to help us undertake complex sums more efficiently.
PE
This year, we are very lucky to have a professional sports coach in school teaching Year 6 for one hour a week. This session will cover a broad range of physical skills and sports which is a fantastic opportunity. This coaching session will take place on a Tuesday afternoon and I will teach our other hour of P.E on a Monday afternoon. You must have your P.E kit on a Monday and Tuesday.
Homework, Spellings and Reading
Like last year, Learning Log and maths homework will be given out on a Friday and will be due in on the following Wednesday. Occasionally, we may give out a piece of homework that lasts for a longer period of time, such as a mini-project. Reading books need to be changed frequently and don’t forget to bring your Reading Journal and book in everyday so that we can keep track of the books you are reading. Like last year, reading records will be checked on a Tuesday and Friday. Spellings for the entire term will be glued into Learning Logs at the beginning of each term, I expect you to learn your spellings week by week throughout the term.
Other Adults in the class
This year, we are very lucky to have the support of Mrs Baldwin throughout Year 6. Mrs Baldwin will be with us for one hour every morning - supporting with English or Maths. She will also be supporting the Sports Coach for one hour a week and the other hour she will teach R.E to Year 6.
We will be focusing on the Mayans during the first half term. Please see our 'Year 6 Learning Leaflet' for the Autumn term to find out more.
