Welcome to Year Six
PE DaysÂ
You will need to wear your PE kit on 2 days this year: Tuesday and Thursday. On Tuesday morning we will have an outdoor PE lesson followed by Enhancement in the afternoon. On Thursday morning we will complete the active mile and in the afternoon we will have Enrichment. You must not wear any jewellery on a PE kit day. Also, make sure that long hair is tied up.
Music
This year we will be learning to play the clarinet with Mrs Bell from Musica Kirklees. Lessons will take place on a Thursday morning and it is important that if children take their instrument home to practice that they bring it in.
Homework
Every week, you will have homework set on the usual websites which you must complete: MyMaths, TTRockstars and Spelling Shed.
In addition to the weekly homework, you will have assignments set on Teams. You will have a choice of assignments, but you must complete 4 of these assignments over the half-term.
Autumn 1
Welcome to Year 6!
It will be a busy year for all of us in Year 6 as we work hard to the end of the Key Stage and prepare for secondary school.
In this first half term, our curriculum focus is the second world war. We will be focussing on how the war affected people and look closely at areas such as evacuation, rationing and propaganda.
In art, we will be developing our sketchbook skills by using a range of media including pencils, water colours, charcoal, graphite, pastels and oil pastels.
In English, we will be recapping on word classes and have a real push on spelling.
In music, this year, we will be learning to play the clarinet with Mrs Bell from Musica.
In mathematics, we will continue to use the Power Maths books to boost our learning. However, as the year progresses, we will learn some maths concepts without the Power Maths books to help us to be secure in all of the key areas.
We will continue to learn Latin in Year 6 which will help us to build a greater understanding of words and the English words which have derived from Latin.
Every week, you will have homework set on the usual websites which you must complete: MyMaths, TTRockstars and Spelling Shed.
