How Homework Can Add to Your Child's Daily Stressors - Thrive Global Set on 19.4.24 ~ Due in 24.4.24

Maths (CGP book) - given sheet

Grammar (CGP book) - pages 24-25

REVISION GUIDE - Please encourage your child to use their CGP Revision Guide to support their grammar homework throughout the year. These guides have a label on the inside cover with more details. Can we please ask that these guides are not written in and returned to us at the end of the year - thank you!

Reading - please continue to read your Accelerated Reader book little and often so that you can complete your comprehension quizzes in school. Don't forget you can also access TT Rockstars to practise your times tables - this will really help your fluency with arithmetic questions

Spellings - a set of spellings are set each Monday and the children are tested on Fridays. Please encourage your child to learn the specific spelling patterns each week as these form part of the SPAG paper they will sit in May. You could also download a free app called 'DoodleSpell' which encourages a range of spelling skills through fun activities and games

Year 6 Information Letter

We hope you all had a lovely Easter break! The children thoroughly enjoyed their residential to Robin Wood and it was fantastic to see them embracing the different challenges, facing their fears and growing in confidence. A fun time was had by all!

We have a busy half term ahead in the run up to SATs and while the children are focused on their studies, we also have new units of work to get our teeth into. In reading and writing we will be exploring a collection of poems by Langston Hughes, an early innovator of jazz poetry during the Harlem Renaissance. We will be delving into American history and the struggles black working-class people faced during this period. We will be using 'Alma', a short thriller, as our stimulus for writing this half term. The children will be learning the techniques of suspense building and creating atmosphere within their writing. In Maths we will be concluding our learning on measure and then moving onto angles before beginning our revision weeks. In topic we will be concluding our work on the ancient Maya civilisation before we begin our computing unit. Our RE topic this half term will be 'What does it mean for Muslims to follow God?' where we will be learning about the significance of the five pillars of Islam and how the words of the Qur'an and the Prophet Muhammad impact on the everyday life of a Muslim.
