Year 6 is an exciting and memorable final year of primary school, filled with opportunities to grow, learn and become more independent. Pupils can challenge themselves, take on new responsibilities and develop confidence in their abilities, preparing them positively for the exciting journey ahead as they get ready for secondary school. 

 

In Year 6, we follow the National Curriculum and promote a love of learning and provide exciting opportunities for hands on learning:

English: 
Reading is a big part of our school day, but we also encourage year 6 to read as much as possible at home.  We will be studying a variety of different novels and non-fiction text across the year, focussing on a range of question types and skills.

In Year 6, you are given the choice of which reading book you will take home but please do ensure that you bring them back into school when you have completed them. These will be changed at least once a week so please ensure they are in school on a Friday where we visit the library and select a new book if we need one.

We also have access to spag.com so please use your personalised login to access the weekly challenges where you can practise the skills we have been learning in the classroom that week within writing lessons.

 

In Year 6, we will be building on prior learning throughout key stage 2 to apply this knowledge to solve a range of problems and develop our fluency with basic arithmetic. We will use real life scenarios to give context to mathematical concepts and take opportunities for practical learning to further consolidate what we have learnt across years 3, 4, 5 and 6.

Home-learning will be given out to children each Friday and should be returned on the following Thursday. The children have their own home-learning book where they should complete any mathematical questions alongside any additional learning they will to complete using TT Rockstars.  

 

Our engaging Year 6 curriculum inspires curiosity, encourages discussion and develops a love of learning across a wide range of subjects. In History, we explore both World Wars, while Science challenges us to investigate the circulatory system, evolution, inheritance and electricity. Geography takes us around Europe as we discover different countries and biomes. In French, we learn to introduce ourselves and talk about our families. RHE helps us understand how to behave in society, build positive relationships and recognise the challenges we may face as we get older.

 

PE is taught on Mondays and Thursdays so please come to school in your PE uniform on those days.

 

Any questions, please contact the Year 6 team who will be happy to help.
