Year 6 - Oak Class

Curriculum News

English

This half term, we will be completing our class novel 'Danny Champion of the World'. We will be using the book as inspiration to complete a newspaper report as well as improving our reading strategies: making inferences, predictions and justifying reasoning to responses.

Maths 

This half term, we will be completing two maths lessons per day to ensure full curriculum coverage before SATs. In week 1, we will be identifying angles in a range of shapes and understanding negative numbers. In week 2, we will be naming different parts of a circle and understanding averages. In week 3, we will be drawing nets, describing position and reading pie charts. In week 4, we will be using algebraic expressions to identify position and reading line graphs. Once the curriculum is completed, we will then be revising prior learning. 

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.

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.
