What are we learning about in Term 6?

Welcome to Term 6

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

For the majority of this 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 link in with our topic of survival and harsh conditions. We will use some atmospheric clips as the stimuli for our writing resulting in some suspenseful narratives, powerful internal monologues and gritty poetry.

Science

In Science this term we will continue our learning about the circulatory system is and its function; all about blood and the how exercise, diet, drugs and lifestyle impacts our bodies.

Computing We will continue to develop our understanding of coding and micro:bits and learn about inputs to be able to make and test a working step counter.

Geography

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

Religious Education - KINGDOM OF GOD What kind of king is Jesus? Children will learn about Jesus’ parables about the Kingdom of God and learn that God’s rule has begun, through the life, teaching and example of Jesus and subsequently through the lives of Christians who live in obedience to God.

PE will be on Monday and Friday this term. It is really important that children have a suitable PE kit (including clothing for an outdoor session with a change of footwear).

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.
