What are we learning about in Term 6?

Welcome to Term 6

Welcome to your final term at primary school intrepid explorers. This term is themed around mountain exploration. You will not only find out about various mountain ranges but also prepare yourself to overcome your own challenges in life and be as ready as you can be for the exciting next step to secondary school.

Maths

Maths will be finishing off the last few units of White Rose (geometry and statistics) and for the remainder of the term, we will taking part in the ‘make5grow’ Virgin money challenge where children will develop their teamwork, problem solving, money management, financial and risk awareness, leadership, Maths, English and creativity.

English

Our English will focus on mountains and adventures this term and we will have a go at writing mountain expedition narrative and non-chronological reports. Before this however, we’ll have one week writing an instruction text on ‘High Diving Giraffes’.

Science

In Science this term we will continue our learning about electricity. We will be creating a burglar alarm using our impressive knowledge of circuits

Computing

We will develop their knowledge and understanding of using a computer to produce 3D models. We will then create hollow objects using placeholders and combine multiple objects to create a model of a desk tidy.

Geography

Children will learn about mountain formations around the world with a focus on UK and learn about people making them habitable places.

PE

This term we are back to two PE sessions at school and we will be playing tennis and athletics.

Here’s to an excellent term, Mr Churchill and the Year 6 Team.

Termly Homework

Homework will consist of a multiple choice grid with many different types of activities to choose from which are all based around our topic. The children will be responsible for completing a task each week and recording it in the home learning book. Photographs or any documents can be stuck into books and any models etc can be brought into school to be presented to the rest of the class if they wish.

For Maths home learning, the children have access to Times Tables Rock Stars and Prodigy, of which the login information can be found in their reading record. The children also have access to Spelling Shed to help them practise their spellings which are sent home weekly.

Remember to keep up with the reading at home in order to get through as many books as possible on the Accelerated Reader scheme and accrue the number of points needed for the term.

Home learning may also be supplemented from time to time with other activities to reinforce learning we do in class.

All homework will be awarded housepoints as well as housepoints given for reading quizzes. These will be added to each child's termly acrual in class to work towards a prize.

Any help and support given with home learning is greatly received. Thank you for your continued support.
