Welcome to Year 6!
In a very compact and busy term our topic falls under the name of Euro-vision. We will look at how and why Europe came together after WWII, get to know our neighbours a little better and find out what our place is now as Europeans. We will also get creative by writing and performing our own music in our very own Eurovision-style contest!
At Parents' Evening many parents either requested or welcomed the prospect of having some work for their child to do over the 2 and a half week Easter break. To that end please find below some past papers (and the accompanying mark schemes) in Maths and Grammar.
They are not compulsory and therefore the mark schemes are available to check your child's work against. You don't need to print the papers; the answers can just be written down on any piece of paper to be checked.
For those who would like an alternative or a further supplement, the Mathletics and TTRockstars online resources are also available.
Also, encouraging your child to read a book (and discussing what they've read) is one of the best things you can do to support your child.
I hope you all have a great Easter break.
PE days this term are Mondays and Fridays - please come to school in appropriate school PE kit.
Homework is set a little differently in Y6 compared to the other classes, in preparation for the transition to secondary school where they will need to be more self-sufficient and organised.
Therefore homework will be set on Monday and due in on the Thursday.
This homework will sometimes take the form of Mathletics tasks (if there are issues around accessing this at home we can make other arrangements).
