In Autumn 1, our English lessons will focus on the book 'A Kind of Spark' by Elle McNicoll, which tells the story of Addie who campaigns for a memorial to be built to remember the witches who were put on trial and executed in her village. From this text, we will be writing character descriptions and information texts. We will also be studying the book 'Earth Verse' by Sally M Walker, and creating Haikus inspired by the book. Our maths topics for Autumn 1 will be place value (numbers up to 10 million), the four operations (addition, subtraction, multiplication and division) and fractions. In history, we will be studying King Henry VIII and Queen Elizabeth, and debating who we think was the most influential Tudor monarch. In Science, our topic will be Life Lab: Classification, where we will be learning how to group living things and will be studying the classification system in detail. In Computing, we will be learning about computing systems and networks, understanding how the internet works and how we use it to communicate and collaborate. In music, our topic will be: Can music be used to enhance film? In this topic, children will study different film composers and compose their own pieces for a short film of their creation. In PSHE, our topic will be Being Me, and in PE/Games we will be doing basketball and gymnastics.
Home learning will be sent out every Wednesday and will be due in the following Monday. The first home learning will be sent out on Wednesday 3rd September. Spelling tests will be every Monday and the first spelling test will be on Monday 16th September. Please remember to record your three weekly reads in your reading records and hand in every Monday. Oxford Reading Scheme books should be in your child's bag every day in case a teacher/TA needs to read with your child.
Year 6 PE days are Thursdays and Fridays, so please send you child dressed in PE kits on these days.
