Year 6

Welcome to Year 6 
 
 
Our theme this term is: 'Zero to Hero: How the Greek's changed the world.'
 

In this theme, we will be focusing on what the Ancient Greeks did which made them an advanced society and how they inspired the rest of the world. 

 

We will be learning about how the Greeks organised themselves as a society as well as how they inspired and influenced the world as we know it today.  

In English, we will be reading the text: Who Let the Gods Out by Maz Evans

Key Information 

PE

We will have PE lessons on a Tuesday  and Thursday this year. Please ensure that your child's PE kit is named and in school at all times as we sometimes have additional sessions too. This term, we will also be having swimming sessions on a Thursday in place of our in-school PE session.

Reading

Children are expected to be reading at home at least 3 times per week to support their learning. We will regularly check with the children how they are getting on with this.

Times tables

Children are encouraged to continue using TimesTable Rockstars at home each week. Every child has their username and password to enable them to log in. This will be checked in school, if you have any problems logging in, please speak to the class teacher. Of course, there are also many other ways to practice you multiplication facts.

Purple Mash

The children have access to Purple Mash which they can use whenever they want. They could produce some of their theme homework using this platform and then send it to school.
