Welcome to the Year 6 family!
The children were mesmerized as they walked through a WWI trench to get to their classrooms on the first morning. They were full of energy and asked lots of questions and were intrigued about what we would be covering. The day followed onto experiencing a Tiger Moth fly over the school. An exciting first day experience!
All this engaging work will be linked to the Year 6 team preparing for their SATs towards the end of the year. This will focus on ensuring the children are equipped with all the skills they need to make sure they are ready. This only forms part of Year 6, as we look at the whole child in terms of their wellbeing and preparing them for secondary school and other changes and experiences they may have in their lives.
In English we will be covering a range of text types – we will write poetry, diaries, a variety of narrative and some report writing.
In Maths we will look at place value, which will lead us nicely into addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. These will not just be learning the skills but also applying to the reasoning and problem solving. Following this we have a large unit on fractions and then we will look at geometry just before Christmas.
We try to instil the skills that will set them up for the future. We have a very open door policy and you are most welcome to pop in and see us anytime should you have any queries.
