Year 6
Weekly Update - Friday 28th March 2025
Summary of this week:
Dear Year 6 Parents and Carers,
Thank you to all parents who were able to attend the parent consultations this week, if there was any reason you were not able to make the appointment, please do contact your class teacher to arrange another meeting.
Learning next week:
Maths: We have finished the coverage of our Maths No Problem! scheme and will now use the next few weeks to address any remaining gaps that believe require more time.
English: We will complete a short unit of writing, targeting a genre that we believe the children will confident in – diary writing.
Foundation: Geography – We will continue to look at sustainable energy and renewable energy sources.
PSHE – We will look at pressure from large groups of people and how the children can continue to make the right choice.
RE – We will finish our teaching of Buddhism.
Computing – We will look at AI generated images and text.
Homework:
Maths: Arithmetic, set Monday due Wednesday.
English: 20 – 34 minutes of a CGP book (either SPAG or reading comprehension).
Maths: 20 – 30 minutes of CGP book (either arithmetic or maths).
Reading journals: Please add input once per week on how many pages / what is being read.
Notices & Reminders:
Easter revision – Hopefully the children will continue to use their CGP books for revision whilst away, we completely understand that everyone will have their own plans and their own commitments, but a small amount of practise goes a long way.
Maths boosters – We are introducing some small tweaks to our afternoon maths sessions that we are currently running three times a week. We will be mixing the classes so we have better capacity to address gaps and support our cohort in reaching their goals. Not all children will be moved around, but we hope that this allows us to better target groups and ensure we make as much progress as possible. This will not be during our normal morning maths lessons and will only be for the afternoon sessions.
