Welcome back Year 6!

We hope you have all had a great break. As the months continue to warm up, please can you make sure that your child has a water bottle and that they have their name on everything so that jumpers and cardigans left on the school field can be reunited with their owners!.

We would also like to remind you that toys and valuables, including fiddle toys, should be kept at home to avoid distractions and prevent items from being lost.

When the children have PE, they should continue to wear their Bitham Brook PE kit into school with the school jumper over the top (if weather conditions require a jumper).  

PE Days

Tuesday- Breakdancing
Wednesday-Dance
Thursday –Football

Please note the Bitham Brook PE kit is a plain white t-shirt and black shorts/leggings/tracksuit with daps/trainers. Other sports clothing is not acceptable as it is important that, as a school, we have pride in our appearance. Please could children also ensure jewellery is removed for the lesson or prior to coming to school.

Goodnight Mister Tom

Year 6 learning this term

Maths

We will be utilising the maths skills acquired throughout the school year and endeavouring to solve problems linked to real life situations E.g. Setting budgets, Salaries, paying bills. We will also have mathematical projects to complete.

Reading

We will be reading Goodnight Mister Tom this term. This book is about a young boy evacuated to the idyllic English countryside during WW2 and the formation of an unlikely friendship.

Writing

We will be writing a fantasy story and constructing a formal balanced argument.

RE

We will be considering the question, ‘How is an understanding of life’s purpose reflected in people’s lives?’

Science

In Science, we will be consolidating the learning from the year. The children will be doing lots of practical work and experiments – getting hands on with electrical circuits and completing bug surveys in their local area.

 Computing

We will be learning about coding this term. This involves looking at existing coding, asking the children to ‘read’ it and make predictions about what may happen when the code is run. They will then take time to understand the coding and learn how to modify it, before attempting to write their own coding from scratch

Geography

We will be learning about earthquakes and settlements; understanding why earthquakes take place and what effects they had on Haiti and Japan.

PE

During PE lessons, we will be focussing on Summer athletics and cricket.

PSHE

Our PSHE topic this term is called Changing Me. This is a unit that incorporates aspects of Relationship and sex education as it covers topics such as puberty, relationships and how babies are made.
