Class Timetable - Summer 2

Our PE days are Wednesday and Thursday. Children must arrive at school in their PE kits comprising black shorts, white t-shirts and plain black trainers or plimsols. Black tracksuit bottoms and hoodie may be worn when the weather is colder. No items should have any branded logos please. Even though children are arriving in their kits, please ensure that everything is named, especially tracksuit/hoodies, as these items may be removed when inside the classroom. Please remember that earrings cannot be worn for PE and should be removed at home if your child is unable to do this themselves.

We are now swimming alternate Wednesdays! Please make sure the children have their swimming kit for this day. Thank you.

Summer Term

Year 6 Summer Parent Overview.pdf

Our summer topic is history based and teaches children about the causes, events and consequences of the First and Second World Wars, the influence of new inventions on warfare, how life in Great Britain was affected and the legacy of the wars in the post-war period.

Our science recaps prior learning about light, with an emphasis on the way that light behaves, travelling in straight lines from a source or reflector, into the eye. They explore how we see light and colours, and phenomena associated with light, including shadows, reflections and refraction.

Our art focus teaches children about the concepts of abstraction and distortion. They study the visual characteristics of abstraction and create a musically-inspired piece of sculpture.

We will reading a non fiction text entitled Wondrous Women of WWII and a fiction text Goodnight Mr Tom by Michelle Magorian.

There will be different science, art and DT projects after the half term break.

History

We continue to use Power Maths as we work through the national curriculum objectives. Our focus in Summer term is revision of some key topics ready for SATs and then to apply to problem solving and reasoning questions.

Maths

We integrate English across the curriculum. In each geography and history project, pupils are given four text types which are tailored to age-appropriate literacy objectives and build upon prior learning. The writing outcomes invite children to apply the knowledge they have gained in a history or geography project to a specific text type. In science and some other subjects, a range of technical and informative non-fiction texts are provided to promote ambitious reading across the curriculum.

See below an overview of the text types this term:
