Here’s what we’ll be covering over this term in Year 6:

In English, we will be using a video called ‘The Piano’ to write flashback stories. We will also be using a different video called ‘Titanium’ to write a story in first person.
We will also be revision grammar content for the SATs and reading Pig Heart Boy.
Maths
In maths, we will be learning about statistics, algebra and revising all that we have learnt for the SATs tests.
Topics that we will be covering across the half-term
We will be learning about the circulatory system in science. In history, we will learn about how crime and punishment have changed through the ages.
In RE, we will learn about how AI has affected religion.
PE
Crimson Class have PE every Tuesday & Friday
Magenta Class have PE every Wednesday & Friday
We have tag rugby and orienteering in PE this half-term.
Please ensure children have the correct kit in school for when they need it.
Homework
As we are preparing the children for their end of primary school assessments and their transition to high school, we do have slightly higher homework expectations than they may have experienced before.
We check this every week and any homework not completed will be completed during breaks and lunchtimes at school with support from staff.
We will offer lunchtime clubs for children to stay in to complete any of their homework if they choose to.
This is the homework children will be expected to do:
Children need to read at home at least 3 times per week and log this on Boom Reader
Children need to learn their spellings each week.
Children will be given maths homework every Friday and this is due in the following Wednesday.
Children need to complete 21 minutes of TT Rockstars.
Thank you for your support with your child’s learning.

Dates for your diary
UKS2 celebration assembly – Friday 21st March
The national offer day for secondary school places in the UK for September 2025 is March 3, 2025. This is when Year 6 pupils will find out which school has offered them a place.
Advanced notice – Children will sit their SATs Monday 12th May to Thursday 15th May 2025. We will be doing lots of work in school in order to prepare the children for these, but it makes a huge difference if you read every day with your child at home and encourage them to practise their spellings and complete their homework on time.
