In Unit 5, our English lessons will focus on the book Macbeth! We will be retelling the opening where we are introduced to the three witches on the heath, and their prophecy about Macbeth, the future King of Scotland. Afterwards, we will be writing dialogue between Macbeth and Lady Macbeth, focusing on their conversation about whether they should kill the King of Scotland in order for Macbeth to take the throne. Our next piece of writing will take inspiration from the book ‘Lesser Spotted Animals’, where the children will create their own weird and wonderful animals, writing a non-chronological report explaining all about them! In maths this term, we will be finishing our MNP learning on graphs and averages. Afterwards, we will be preparing for our SATs by completing revision of previously taught topics and working through some past papers. In history this term, our topic will be: How did women gain the right to vote in Britain? We will look at the role of suffragettes and suffragists and the methods they used in order to help gain women the right to vote. In art, the children will be studying the work of sculptor Anthony Gormley. Using recycled materials, the children will be creating their own sculptures inspired by his work. In computing the children will be using 3D modelling software to manipulate and create their own 3D shapes. In PSHE this term, the children will be exploring the topic of relationships, where they will be learning about mental health, grief, friendships, and being safe online/how to use technology safely. In science, the children will be studying the topic: Amazing Anatomy: The Circulatory System, learning about the function of blood, the heart and how the circulatory system works. Finally, in PE, the children will be practising their athletics ready for sports day, and playing football.
Home learning this term will continue to be on SATs Bootcamp. The children will be told what topic to revise each week, but additional revision of other topics would be excellent! Children are also expected to access Times Table Rockstars three times per week, to help with learning and improving speed of times table facts (both multiplication and division). Spelling tests will be every Monday. Please remember to record your three weekly reads in your reading records and hand in every Monday. Oxford Reading Scheme books should be in your child's bag every day in case a teacher/TA needs to read with your child.
Year 6 PE days are Thursdays and Fridays, so please send your child dressed in PE kits on these days.
