Love Learning, Love Life

Always Aiming High

Staff

Mrs McDonnell   

Welcome back to our second term in Year Six. I hope everyone has had a great Christmas holiday and has fully recharged their batteries ready for a busy term. This term will see me teaching all mornings in year six; doing guided reading, English, spelling, handwriting and maths.

PE

We will continue to go swimming this term. Swimming will continue up until we break up for Easter. 

Homework, Spellings and Reading

Like last term, homework will be set on a Friday and due in the following Wednesday. 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 term, reading records will be checked on a Tuesday and Friday. You must aim to read for pleasure every day and also read your leveled book at least 3 times a week and have it signed by an adult.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.

Reading

Our Reading books for next term, taught through Pathways to Read, will include...

Spring 1 = The Happy Prince and Other Tales by Oscar Wilde

Spring 2 = The Explorer by Katherine Rundell 

English

Our English books for next term, taught through Pathways to Write, will include...

Spring 1= Selfish Giant by Oscar Wilde

Spring 2 = The Island by Jason Chin

As we approach the SATS, any time that you can give to practising maths, reading and grammar skills would be very beneficial.
