Year 6
Weekly Update - Friday 26th September 2025
Summary of this week:
Hello Year 6 Parents and Carers,
We have had a busy week of learning. We have made real progress with our use of a formal written method to solve multiplication problems, and the children have produced some wonderful writing on the causes of WWII.
Our highlight of the week was when the children entered the classroom to discover the tables had been set out to resemble trenches, we listened to some sound effects and spent our English lesson on the frontline!
Learning next week:
Maths: We will be progressing to division, looking at dividing by a 1-digit number and how we can use factor pairs to help us divide larger integers.
English: We will continue to read War Games, studying the lives of four young boys who sign up to fight in WWI. We will then look at the features of diary writing, as this will become our next unit of work.
Foundation:
History: Continuing the report on causes of WWII.
Art: Street art.
RE: Individuals who have inspired Humanists.
Computing: Brute force hacking.
Homework:
Next week we will set a history themed project homework. This homework has an extended deadline of the 13th of October. We will explain to the children the task during our assembly and will send out an information sheet. We are always so impressed by the creativity of the Year 6 children and we look forward to seeing their efforts.
Maths and English homework will be pauses during this time, we do not want to overburden the children.
