What lives alongside us?
Welcome to Summer Term 6
It is now our last term and a very busy one it is too!
Our new topic is all about living things, their habitats and lifecycles. Our big question is What lives alongside us?
We have our last swimming lesson the first week back and still have PE on a Monday and a Thursday. Don’t forget to come in your kit!
Our Reading and Writing lessons will link to our new topic and as usual our Maths will be what we need to learn based on our most recent PiXL assessments.
The final term is always special for Year 6 and this year is no exception, we will be preparing for our upper key stage 2 production- Shakespeare Rocks! and, of course we have some surprises for you as well!
What is the power or Art?
Welcome to Summer Term 1
This term, our topic is called ‘Take One Picture’, we will be focusing on the question: What is the power of art? We will be learning all about Wassily Kandinsky and his art. It will also link with our writing, in which we will be learning how to write a biography and our reading will also be exploring how biographies are written.
Maths learning will be tailored to the class’ needs, based on the Pixl tests. And our topic learning in the afternoons will be very arty – painting, sculpting and printing!
PE will be on Mondays and Thursdays, so please come dressed for PE on those days.
Please remember to read at home and practice times tables.
Spring Term 4
Human and Physical Geography
This term, our topic is Geography [human and physical] and our main question is: What are the significant rivers of the world and why are they important? So our topic learning will be all about rivers.
Meanwhile, in Writing, we will be focusing on poetry and some of our reading will link with this too, as well as exploring non-chronological reports. In maths, we will start the term by looking at geometry.
PE will be on Mondays and Thursdays.
Happy Spring time!
