In Maths, this Autumn Term, we will be concentrating on developing our arithmetic skills by focusing on place value, the four rules of number, fractions, decimals and percentage. Having a thorough grasp of these important concepts will help in securing a solid arithmetic score in the SATs in May. Please note - the quick recall of multiplication tables is essential!

Please make sure that you practise these skills at home by completing the homework set on MyMaths and always ask if you need any additional support. We are here to always help you!

In our English lessons we will be looking at how to efficiently answer comprehension questions - in particular using our inference, literal and deduction skills. We will also be developing our Year 6 writing skills, writing stories, diaries, letters etc. During the Autumn Term, our writing lessons will be based a short story entitled Spit Nolan and then the book Stormbreaker.  In January Miss Lock will resume her rightful place as Year 6's class teacher, when she will focus her English lessons on the novel Private Peaceful and WW1.

Reading - It is hoped that your child will automatically choose to read on a daily basis.  They will be expected to read at home at least four times per week, for a period of 20 minutes. Some children may be asked to do reading/SPAG activities that are part of the Lexia Program.

In Year 6, your child will practise all the spellings from the Year 5 and 6 statutory lists. Your child should by now be secure with spelling words they learnt in the previous years at primary school. This is to prepare them for their spelling test as part of their SPaG (Spelling, Punctuation and Grammar) SAT. Spellings are also a crucial element when your child's independent writing is assessed.

RELIGIOUS EDUCATION

Our Christian value this half term is ... Generosity

This term, in Year 6, we will be learning about the importance of being generous. The children will look at ways they can be generous and how it is not just about donating money.

In class we will be focussing on Christianity and exploring the question: 

Why do some people believe in God, and some people don't?

What are SATs?

The Standard Assessment Tests (otherwise known as SATs) check your child’s knowledge of the National Curriculum. The tests are compulsory for Year 6 students and they’re used to assess your child against age-related expectations.
