In Unit 6, our English lessons will continue to focus around 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 revisiting topics taught over the year and continuing to practice our arithmetic skills learnt. In science, we will be studying Light Fantastic. The children will be building on their work on light in year 3, exploring the way that light behaves, including light sources, reflection and shadows. Our main non-core focus this half term will be our production of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat. We will be incorporating lots of skills from music, drama, and dance, as well as art and dt in the creation of props and backdrops. We will also continue to learn our geography topic through theme days. In PE, we will also be focusing on our athletic skills ready for our sports day.
Children are 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.
