Year 6

Welcome to Year 6 with Mr Odell, Mrs Bennett and  Mrs Bailey

 

Academic Year 2022/23   

Spring Term 

 

Our Theme Learning for this Term

HOME LEARNING

 

  

Spelling and Reading

Spellings are stuck into the children’s spelling records at the beginning of each term.  A spelling overview for each half-term is provided, as well as weekly lists.  Please ensure that children are remembering to practise, using the spelling strategies learned in class. 

 

 

 

Children need to read at home at least four times a week for 10 to 15 minutes at a time.  When your child has read, please ensure it is recorded in their reading diary (by you or themselves).  Children’s reading records are checked, against this expectation, by Mrs Bailey each Wednesday morning. 

 

Please encourage your children to read a range of different genres and for a range of different purposes (as this forms part of their assessment): even if it is reading a bus timetable, reading something online as research or reading an information leaflet– it all counts as ‘reading’. 

 

Times Tables

 

All children have access to the website Times Tables Rock Stars, where tables work is set for them to complete.  High scores and year group winners are put up on display in the school If your child has lost their log in or password, then just let us know and we can remind them.

 

We will send regular Marvellous Me messages to keep you up-to-date with any imprtant information, as well as to celebrate children's amazing achievements, academically or socially.  

 

If you do have any questions, then please talk to us at the end of the day, when we will be happy to help.  

Forest School 

To mark Mental Health Awareness Day, Year 6 created their own mandala artwork using natural items that they scavenged. 

European Day of Languages

Parliament Workshop

Year 6 were fortunate enough to be joined by the UK Parliament Education Team who shared with us how laws are created. We learned the whole process, including the differences between the two houses, how votes are actually undertaken, how laws are discussed in parliament and even held our own debate on whether to ban the use of petrol and diesel cars. The mature way in which the children articulated and justified themselves when discussing such an important matter was incredibly impressive!
