A reminder about online safety:

If you are online, don’t forget to be safe and savvy! 

Never give personal information to anyone! Think about the safety of what you are sharing or posting if you are online or on your phone.

Do not share your school log-ins or change your log-in details. We won’t ask you to do that.

Make sure you are accessing online material that is relevant for your age and tell an adult at home if you come across something that is not suitable for you, or if someone is trying to contact/talk to you that is not someone you know.

You can contact your teacher through Seesaw if you feel vulnerable or worried, or contact Childline 0800 1111.

Useful reminders about Online Safety are at Thinkuknow.co.uk 

Please find below some information which you will hopefully find useful during the first half of the autumn term: please look at the curriculum section of our website to view more information about our curriculum.

Year 6 - Oak Class Curriculum

Curriculum News

English

We will be revising for the upcoming SATs, consolidating prior grammar and punctuation topics and reading a range of comprehension texts, with a focus on poetry to further imbed retrieval and inference skills. We will then be reading 'Holes' as our class novel towards the end of the half term.

Maths 

We will be revising for the upcoming SATs. We will consolidate our learning of prior mathematical topics including: area and perimeter of different shapes; algebra, fractions, timetables and decimals.

Spellings

Children will be given a new spelling list every Monday. There will be a test every Friday. We practise in class, if you would like to further practice at home then the spelling lists are attached below. There will be spelling tests for the first three weeks of the half term. Each list contains the most common spelling patterns and rules from the most recent SATs paper.

PE 

PE days are now Wednesday and Thursday.

Homework 

Homework will continue to be set every Monday, with the expectation for it to be completed and returned the following Monday.

This is instead of a weekly reading book. However, if your child still wishes to get a book from the school library then they are more than welcome and can swap them on Mondays once they have finished the book.
