Mississippi - Year Six

I can’t believe it is the last half term already! Let’s make the most of it!

We will be continuing with our ‘Coasts’ topic which the children are really excited about as it will prepare us for our Whitby trip! Thank you so much for donating ice pops.  

In English, we will be continuing to read ‘Dracula’ then we will start reading ‘Room 13’ which I know the children will love- as do Mrs Kewley and I! We will write poems, stories, letters and much more.  In Maths, we will be carrying out lots of investigations and learning how to draw a dart board using a protractor and a compass. In Science, we will continue with our hearts unit then we will be learning about evolution. To link with our Coasts topic, we will be drawing/painting shells in Art. Our Mindmate lesson will be ‘Solving problems and making it better’. We will then start our Identity, Society and Equality unit. In PE, we are going to be playing rounders alongside our REAL PE unit. We will be practising our throwing, catching and batting skills and learning tactics. We will also be doing gymnastics.

A few reminders:

• Please remember to read every night and remind your child to make a comment in their reading diary along with which pages they have read.

• Don’t forget to bring in a water bottle- there are still some people that don’t have one in school. 

Books we will be reading in year 6
