Year 6
Assalamu Alaikum
Welcome to the Year 6 Page
Welcome back after your summer holidays! We are finally here in the last year of school. There is plenty of great learning lined up as we aim to end the school in the best way possible.
Maths
In maths we are going to be looking at numbers up to 10 million, working on our four operations, multiplying 4 digit numbers by 2 digit numbers and then dividing with 2 digit numbers. After that we will head towards multiplying and dividing fractions.
English
We are starting English with a great picture book called ‘Way Home,’ in which we will be writing narratives, diary entries and non-chronological reports.
Guided Reading
This term we will be reading The Boy in the Tower by Polly Ho-Yen about a boy stuck in his tower block whilst the neighbouring buildings are beginning to crumble under strange circumstances. A survival story in which the children will practise their reading fluency as well as answer questions using inferencing and retrieval skills. The emphasis is on children understanding the questions they are being asked and how to link their answer to evidence from the text.
Science
Light and Sight
Ever wondered how we see things? How mirrors work and shadow are formed? In this unit we will be investigating refractions, colours of light and learning about key figures in this field.
Computing
Internet Safety and coding on Khan Academy and Purple mash where children will learn drawing and animation basics.
P.E
Year 6 have P.E on Tuesdays. Please ensure that children come to school in their P.E kit and bring water bottles.
DT
In this unit, we will look at frame structures, invistigating how bird hides are made, making our own bird hides using a 3d structure, learning how to create joints in materials and evaulating!
History
We will be looking at the legacy of the second world war, the blitz, local war memorials, children in world war 2, womens role in warm, what did men do during the war and much more.
