Year 6
Welcome to our class page!
Mr Higgins, Miss Iram and Miss Dark
We are looking forward to supporting children and are excited about our year six topics. Here are the topics we will be covering this year:
- Meet the Mayans
- Biographies
- There and Back Again
- Heroes and Villains
- Strange Things
Further information about topic is included in the Medium Term Plans section
Below is our weekly timetable, outlining the subjects your child will take part in each week. It provides a clear snapshot of what a typical week in Year 6 looks like.
Class Timetable
PE
We have PE every Thursday and Friday so make sure your PE kit is in school on these days and that it is labelled.
Homework
Reading
Children are expected to read every day and bring their book bag to school with a completed reading record. This allows children to develop their vocabulary, increase their fluency and understanding. Children will take home a reading book of their choice based on their reading level.
Timestables
Children should spend at least 10 minutes a day learning their timetables and should know their tables up to 12 times. If children know all their times tables, it is vital to go over them as well as apply these to larger and smaller numbers. Timetables provide a foundation for a range of learning in Maths including written multiplication and division, fractions, percentages and time. Try these links for some interactive learning :
Spelling
Spellings will be given on Mondays and tested weekly. Children will be taught spelling strategies which they can also use to practise spellings at home. Spellzone is also available for children to practise spellings in a fun and interactive way. In year 6, we recap tricky spellings from year 3 onwards so children can become better spellers!
