Year 6

English: This term (Autumn), we will be looking at the genres of narrative writing, letter writing and non-chronological report writing, drawing on our focus text ‘Holes’.   

Maths: We will be looking at place value and the four number operations of addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. With fractions and converting units being covered towards the end of the autumn term.

For a more detailed overview, please see the curriculum overview at the bottom of this class page.

Homework

This term the children will bring home an English and Maths homework sheet on a Wednesday, which will then be marked the following Wednesday. It is extremely important that homework is completed and brought into school by the deadline.  Support will be available in school during lunchtimes, should your child require support to complete the task.   

In addition to this set homework, each week your child should read aloud most days and their reading record books signed. They should also continue to work on learning all their times tables up to 12x12. 

Class Routines

PE will take place on a Tuesday Morning and Thursday afternoon (swimming). Children should come into school in their PE kit on these days. No earrings or watches are allowed. Children need to have a blue PE shirt, blue shorts and/or jogging bottoms, a warm jacket, trainers and socks. On Thursday they need to be equipped for their swimming lesson.  They should bring their swimming kit in every Thursday for their session on that day.

As ever, if you require any further information, please come and chat to the class teacher after school or send an email via the school office secretary@st-michaels-school.org
