Here are some important websites you will need access to during the term:
ENGLISH
This half term, we will be reading ‘The Ways of the Wolf' by Smriti Prasadam-Halls,
The wolf stalks the wilderness and our own imaginations. Uncover its mysteries in this beautifully written non-fiction picture book.
Majestic and fierce, proud and strong, the wolf has always been a source of fascination - and fear. It remains one of the most misunderstood of all creatures, frequently cast as our mortal enemy. The truth is that wolves and humans are more closely connected than we dare to admit.
Shared Reading
In Shared Reading, we are using a range of books, as part of the 'Steps to Read' programme. This programme helps to move the children on from 'reading and understanding' to being able to predict, explain and infer from the the text, setting them up for success in their KS2 SATs.
Children will use excerpts from these books, but there are copies in the class library for the children to read as a 'Read for Pleasure' book, should they want to.
MATHS
This half term, we will be developing our understanding of Fractions, Decimals and Percentages focusing on arithmetic and reasoning-based questions.
GEOGRAPHY
Year 6 will be focusing on Geography this half term. Our topic for this term is North America. We will look at the countries that are a part of the continent and the natural resources that they hold. This will lead us to compare North America to the United Kingdom ending with a non-chronological report.
Science
Building on from our learning in Evolution last term, this term will be focused on animals including humans. We will be focusing on the circulatory system and transportation of nutrients around the body. This will link with our healthy eating topic in DT.
PE
REMEMBER - PE is every Thursday afternoon. This half term, we are covering Hockey, so you will need the correct outdoor PE kit:
-White t-shirt
- Black Shorts/tracksuit pants/leggings
- Black trainers
Remember - No labels or insignias
