This term the children will continue to work towards their SATs tests which are in May. The SATs tests include an arithmetic  test and two  maths reasoning papers (problem solving) as well as a grammar, punctuation and spelling test (GPS) and a reading comprehension test.  

Please continue to encourage your  children to complete their CGP books and other homework. Your children should practise Maths and English skills everyday to have the maximum exposure to different types of questions. The IXL website provides a range of questions with support where required.  The children each have their own log in ( please see me if there are any issues with these). 

English

In English we will continue to  read a classic text

‘Tom’s Midnight Garden’ (the graphic novel version). We will focus on grammar and vocabulary which will improve the children’s literacy skills. We will write letters, documentary scripts, poetry and persuasive writing. We will also read Street Child with an emphasis on narrative writing.

Maths

In maths we will learn about averages and expand the children’s knowledge of  line graphs, bar and pie charts .

Once these have been completed we will begin our revision across a range of topics. 

Science

Year 6 will take part in the science day at Iqra which will form part of the activities for  British Science Week. This year the theme is Our Diverse Planet. 

Computing

Year 6 will be building on their coding skills by using Scratch programming. They will use this coding to solve maths problems as well as  design their own maths problems

P.E

Year 6 have P.E on Thursdays. Please ensure your children comes to school in their PE Kit
