Summer Term!

I hope you have all had a wonderful Easter Break and are ready for a positive Summer Term; who can believe this is the last Term at St John's for Year 6!

In Literacy, we will be completing writing tasks using our class book 'The Last Wild', before moving on to read the story 'Holes'. In Maths we will be working on our Arithmetic in detail and completing a variety of Investigation Tasks.

Our main topic for this half term will be ‘Raging Rivers’.

Starling Class will be taking part in PE lessons on Mondays and Fridays, so should be in correct kit for those days.

Homework tasks will remain the same this term: reading 4 times a week; spelling/phonics lists to practise at home; Maths sheets to complete each week; and the occasional topic-based task.

Thank you for your continued support.

In Literacy, we will be completing writing tasks using our new book 'The Last Bear', which I am certain the children are really going to enjoy. In Maths we will be learning about Decimals, Percentages and Algebra.

Our main topic for this half term will be ‘Trading and Economics’.

Autumn Half Term 2

Welcome back to the second Autumn Half Term. We have made a great start this year and it has been lovely to see every child come back in with such a positive attitude and willingness to learn.

Please take a look at the half-term, Medium Term Plan below to find out what topics we are covering subject by subject; hopefully the Starlings will be coming home telling you about their learning and will teach you a thing or two!

As usual, I would like to remind you about the importance of hearing your child read every night, if you can, but on a minimum of 4 occasions in the week, if time is short. We shall be continuing with the Reading Championship competition as it seems to be such a great motivator so, by the end of the year, your child might be sporting 6 badges.

PE lessons will be taken by the brilliant Mr Parsons on Mondays and we will be continuing Swimming lessons on Fridays so please make sure you child comes to school in their kit on those days to maximise learning time.

Homework in Year 6 consists of a weekly spelling list or investigation, some Maths work and some English work. There will be the occasional piece of topic homework.

Should you have any queries, please come and see me in the Year 6 classroom, or give the school a ring to arrange a meeting.

Many thanks.
