Welcome to Year 6

                                I hope you all had a restful and fun filled summer holiday. I am looking forward to working with the new Year 6 class this year and getting them all ready for the next big step- THE COMP! Outlined below are some details with regards to the structure of this term.

Our topic for the first half term is called, ‘A sense of place’. All National Curriculum subjects will link into this wherever possible. Below are some of the areas we aim to cover this term.

NUMERACY * Number/ problem solving LITERACY * persuasion * SCIENCE * adaptation and classification PE * swimming/ ball sports ART * Seurat

ICT * Control WELSH * Hamdden (hobbies) PSE/P4C * Linked to the value of the term TOPIC *Geographical skills

Our P.E days will be on Monday and Wednesday this term. Please can you ensure that all pupils make every effort to bring their kits into school for this essential area of child development. For this term (up until Christmas) Yr 6 pupils will be swimming on a Wednesday. Pupils need to bring appropriate kit for this activity

Reading will take place both individually and as part of group reading. Year 6 children are currently being assessed to gain a greater understanding of their individual needs in this area. Any extra reading is a huge benefit to your child - sharing a book daily will make a huge difference in their understanding and enjoyment. Times tables are also an important part of numerical development. Please support your child in learning these, they will be tested and their progress monitored throughout the year!

Homework will be given out either on Thursday or Friday, starting next week, to be returned by Wednesday unless stated. Homework will also be put on the blog.

If you have any queries I am usually available in the classroom after school. Thank you for your support and I look forward to a busy and productive autumn term.

Yours faithfully,

Mr C Munday
