Welcome to Year 6.
We intend to make sure your last year of primary school is fun whilst learning lots of news skills to take away with you!
During this term we will be attending Queensway Gymnastics sessions every Friday afternoon.
Please provide your child with a healthy snack such as a fruit or veg snack and water bottle each day.
Please ensure dinners are booked on parent pay each day.
Our topic this term is ‘War and Conflict’ we will be learning all about WW2 and conflict around the world.
In Numeracy we will be looking at place value, ordering and rounding numbers, multiplying and dividing by 10, 100 and 1000. We will also be collecting data, creating line graphs and using these skills during our topic lesson. Each week we will also be completing daily reasoning problems and starters and weekly speed test time tables.
Children will also bring home weekly spellings to learn on Spellcast. We will be testing children each THURSDAY. Please encourage your child to practise these words at home.
Reading is a big focus in our class, children have their individual reading books (home), desk books and group reading books. Please encourage your child to read at home and record and sign in their yellow reading records.
We communicate to parents vias the seesaw app, where you can message me any queries etc as well as enjoying seeing your child’s work.
We will also be learning Welsh and French using different apps and activities. We will learn more about our mental wellbeing and relationships using the myhappyminds and ten ten schemes.
We have an open door policy and I’m always happy to answer questions at the door, however due to the fact I need to be with the pupils if there is ever an issue that you feel needs longer to discuss then please drop a message on seesaw and we can arrange a convenient time at the soonest opportunity.
I am very happy to be teaching your child this year and I am excited at what the year ahead will hold for us all.
