HOME LEARNING

Welcome to Class 6

Welcome to the Year 6 Spring overview. We hope to provide you with some useful information about Year 6 in the lead up to SATS as well as an overview of the terms curriculum. The school curriculum has changed slightly from last year in order to ensure children are covering the skills they need. We value and appreciate parental support and interest in the curriculum and we are sure that your child does too.

This term, our topic is ‘Chocolate’. The children will learn all about the Maya Civilisation and how chocolate was discovered as well as learning all about North and South America. Please see the attached overview for more information about the curriculum the children will be learning during the term.

Good websites to use are Hit the Button, Dyslexia Gold (times table tutor), Education City and Purple Mash.

Reading

Please read regularly and remember to get your parents to sign your reading diary at least once a week so that you can earn reading reward points.

Complete at least 90 minutes of reading on Reading Plus (Some of this will be completed in class)

This should equate to 3 reading lessons and 2 vocabulary lessons. Remember to use your re-read buttons. You have 5 re-reads in a text; the more you use them, the more likely you are at hitting 80% or more.
