ENGLISH
This half term, we will be reading 'Paradise Sands' by Levi Pinfold,
When a young girl and her older brothers step into the ghostly Paradise Sands hotel, they fall under the rule of the mysterious Teller. The girl makes a deal with the commanding creature to free them all from his haunting paradise—and let them return to their mother, white roses in hand. But can the girl, determined as she is, hold up her side of the bargain? A contemporary story with the feel of a classic fairy tale, Levi Pinfold’s Paradise Sands is lush with enchanting illustrations, rendered in a muted palette with the artist’s distinctive stylistic realism.
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 the future.
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 algebra, patterns and statistics; focusing on arithmetic and reasoning-based questions.
Geography
Year 6 will be focusing on Geography this half term. Our topic for this term is Local Development with a focus on Liverpool. We will look at key aspects of human geography including types of settlement and land use. This will lead us to creating our own OS maps of the Liverpool area.
Science
This term we will be learning about of environment and how we can look after it. This includes learning about climate change and exploring ways we can reduce our energy consumption.
