So far, we've had a great start to the term!  The children have settled in well, are working hard and really enjoying our theme:

 Amazing Antarctica!!

 

 

In our topic lessons, the children have learnt all about positions on world maps, climate zones, biomes and coming up, they will be finding out about animal adaptations and creating their own Antarctica art based on an American landscape artist.

 

Make sure to check back regularly for more class pictures and updates!

 

Important class information

The high expectations we have throughout school, remain a key feature in Year 6. We expect pupils to drive their own learning, demonstrating independence and resilience. Homework is given on a weekly basis and we expect pupils to complete the tasks given promptly as we prepare them for their transition to secondary school. 

 

As your child will be taking their SATs this school year, there are a few things you can do to support them in preparing for their SATs. These are:

• Reading every day for at least 10 minutes.
• Practising their times tables, daily, This can be done by chanting their times tables in and out of order  (your child has an orange times tables booklet to support them with learning their times tables).                                                                     They can also use their Times Tables Rock Stars account to help them practise their times tables too. 
• Practising spellings daily. Your child will be given 5-7 spellings a week, ready to be tested on them the following week. 

 

Please do not hesitate to come and see us, should you have any questions or need any support!
