 INFORMATION ABOUT THE CURRICULUM IN YEAR 6

MATHS

Our focus this term is multiplication and division and then we will move on to measure. We will also be revisiting and building on our addition and subtraction. Twice a week we will complete a Terrific Times Tables quiz to help our quick recall of our times tables. There is also a big focus on arithmetic skills and reasoning which will take place every lesson. 

ENGLISH  

In English this term, we will be reading The Boy Who Grew Dragons. We will be writing descriptive pieces inspired by the story and creating diary entries based on the characters and events in the book. We will focus on using exciting vocabulary and full sentences.

READING

Using an exciting range of texts, we will continue to develop our love for reading. At home, children should read for a minimum of 20 minutes each day.

HISTORY

After half term, we will be continuing our unit on the Stone Age and exploring how life changed from the Bronze Age to the Iron Age, including homes, tools and daily life.

SCIENCE

In Science, we will be learning about light, including how light travels, how shadows are formed and how reflections occur. We will use scientific vocabulary and carry out investigations to help us answer questions.

PE

Thursday AND Friday

Children should have their full kit and trainers in school for these lessons but also throughout the week as well.

Computing

In Computing, we will be learning about digital devices and how they work. We will explore the difference between digital and non-digital devices and learn how computers use inputs and outputs. We will also find out how computers are connected through networks.
