This half term our year 6’s will begin their learning journey, studying Macbeth. Studying Macbeth will help our students to work on many fundamentals of the national curriculum such as descriptive writing, clarification and summary and drama.
Numbers – addition, subtraction, multiplication and division.
Children will use their knowledge of the order of operations to carry out calculations involving the four operations.
Our P.E lessons will take place on Friday afternoons all year round. Children will be taught many strategies and techniques through different sports as the year develops. Your children are encouraged to bring their P.E kit in at the start of the half term and leave it in their lockers. At the end of the term children can take their kit home with them, wash it and bring it back in at the start of the following half term.
Work for our learning logs will be set at the start of each week and are due back in every Friday. This half term work set will be based around the topic work which is World War 1.
It is vital our children are reading at home. This will help develop their vocabulary, descriptive writing and imagination to name just a few. Our children are expected to read for half an hour every evening.
Mental arithmetic tests are to be taken home so the children can correct their mistakes over the weekend.
It is extremely important children practice their spelling every night and supporting your children with their spelling would help them to improve.
