Autumn Term One

Our new Year 6 class have settled in quickly and have already risen to the challenges of the new year. They are taking pride in their learning and were keen to share our first few weeks at their recent class assembly where they spoke with confidence and enthusiasm. Thank you to all the parents who were able to join us – we hope you enjoyed seeing what the children have achieved in just half a term.

This half term has been incredibly busy; as well as our assembly, we have enjoyed Future Ready week. The children were tasked to create a new product to promote oral hygiene and were asked to create presentations, marketing pitches advertisements to bring their ideas to life. One group was then invited to present their ideas to a panel of ‘Dragons’ who were blown away by the professionalism and maturity of the children.

In Science, we have been looking at Living Things and their Habitats – the children have learnt about classification and the importance of making close observations. They have learnt more about animals, plants and microorganisms and we can sort them into different groups depending on their characteristics.

In Mathematics we have recapped place value but increased our knowledge of place value in numbers up to 10,000,000. We are now working on addition, subtraction, multiplication and division (including long division).

The children have shown that they are becoming increasingly talented writers, we have enjoyed some very descriptive retells based on a short film called Road’s End and they have also researched an arctic animal in order to write a non-chronological report which links to both Science and Guided Reading.

We are now looking forward to our second half term together which promises to be just as busy particularly with the lead up to the festive season. Thank you for your ongoing support and positivity. The year 6 team wishes everyone a happy and restful half term.
