Year 6
Weekly Update - Friday 12th September 2025
Summary of this week:
Hello Year 6 Parents and Carers,
We have had a wonderfully busy week at school. We have made real progress with our presentation and how to layout our work, the children are already demonstrating they are ready to learn in Year 6.
Learning next week:
Maths: We will be working through our extensive unit on the four operations, starting with addition and subtraction and progressing to the order of operations.
English: We will start writing our first extended piece of writing – a portal story.
Foundation:
History – trench warfare and how WWI was fought.
PSHE – being me in my world.
RE – Humanism.
Science – classification of plants.
Computing – brute force hacking.
Homework:
Maths: Arithmetic, set Monday due Wednesday.
English: SPaG based homework, set Tuesday and due Thursday.
Maths: Recap of school learning, set Wednesday due Friday.
Notices & Reminders:
Roles and responsibilities – If we can please have the applications for roles and responsibilities by Monday, that will enable us to conduct our interviews next week. Please do remember that roles such as prefects, house captains and librarians only have limited slots, so therefore we cannot guarantee that every child gets their first choice. We can ensure every child gets a role, but cannot guarantee it will be their preferred role.
PE kit – we are noticing quite a lot of children wearing trainers on days that are not PE kit days, please encourage your children to wear their uniform, we understand school shoes aren’t quite as fashionable!
