Year 6

English: This term (Autumn), we will be looking at the genres of setting descriptions, letter writing and non-chronological reports, drawing on our focus text ‘Holes’. As well as some fictional writing themed around Christmas, nearer that time in the academic term.  

Maths: We will be looking at place value, addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, along with later in the term fractions and converting fractions.

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 a piece of home work for English and Maths each week.  It will be based on the learning that the children are currently completing in class, so they should be able to access this.  It will be set on a Monday and will be due back the following Monday for marking.

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. When swimming, they will need to bring in their swimming kits ready 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
