Welcome To Year 6
Hello and welcome to Year 6.
This year, we are looking forward to our exciting residential trip to the Peter Ashley Centre in September. We have some interesting history topics, including the British Empire and the Ancient Maya, and in Science, we will be learning about Electricity, Light, Evolution & Inheritance. In DT, we will be designing and building shelters. Children will also continue to learn French, along with continuing to develop skills in all subject areas.
In Year 6, weekly homework is set every Wednesday and consists of spellings, home reading and revision tasks to prepare the children for the SAT tests in May. The children will be using learning by questions to complete their homework and parents will be given more details about the tests in due course. Times tables are still a major focus of children's learning and the school subscribes to Times Table Rockstars which is available on most devices as a website or an app. Children are encouraged to play at least 5 minutes of times table games at least 3 times a week at home, as well as working on times tables in class, and there are always various competitions and incentives throughout the year.
This half term:
PE - Tuesday (Rugby) and swimming (Friday)
Library - Monday
In Year 6, children are encouraged to choose their own reading books to take home. We have a range of books in the class and the school library.
If you have any questions, feel free to speak to your child's class teacher at the end of the school day, or send a message on the Year 6 email - year6@leeslandschools-fed.co.uk
