Mississippi - Year Six

WOW- we are half way through the Year already! Time certainly does fly when you’re having fun…and working hard! This half term we will be continuing with our Vikings topic. We will soon be having our Viking Day- a letter will be sent out/dojo post soon with more details.

We will also be starting our new class novel ‘Viking Boy’ by Tony Bradman. We had a short zoom call with the author who introduced the book to us and even read some of it to us! After reading it, we are having a full hour zoom to discuss what we thought of the book and will have the opportunity to ask lots of questions. How exciting!

In English, we will be focussing on using lots of different grammar techniques in our writing in preparation for SATs. In Maths, we will start by looking at telling the time and time intervals then we will be learning about how to convert units of measure. We will also be revising lots of the things we have learnt already in preparation for SATs. In Science, we will continue to learn about Light and then move onto animals and plants. In PSHE, we will start with our Mindmate lesson on Strong Emotions, we will finish our drugs topic and then we will move onto our topic on Keeping safe and managing risk. In Spanish we will be continuing to learn how to have a conversation. In PE we will be focussing on our creative skills and learning how to play volleyball.

This is a really important half term for the children with it being the last full half term before SATs. I will be sending extra homework and the children will be given revision books for Grammar/spelling and Maths to complete. The children will be told which pages to do and it is expected that the children bring their booklets back in to school as we will be marking them in class.

I’m really pleased with the progress the children have made so far. They have worked hard! Let’s keep it up!

Please practise these things at home:

·         Times tables

·         Telling the time

·         Finding percentages when shopping (eg. 20% off)

Remember Mathletics, Spelling Shed, TTRS and keep reading!
