We will visit Winchcombe Steam Railway as part of our evacuation experience on Thursday 19th September. Values: Respect and Forgiveness Throughout the Spring term, children will study the history of animation and develop skills in animation, film making, film direction and film production. Values: Community and Faith Throughout the Summer term, children will travel back through time to experience life in the Stone Age, Iron Age and Bronze Age. Children will discover how the culture, society and beliefs of these Britons affected life in Britain and use the rich history from these times to inspire their writing.

When completing Maths tasks, children should be encouraged to show their workings. Each week children will be required to read a short text and answer questions about the text that show their understanding and develop their comprehension skills. When completing English tasks, children should be encouraged write in full sentences. Children should be encouraged to read as often as possible and for a sustained period of time; we recommend a minimum of 20 minutes per day of engaged reading time. It is expected that children practice their times tables as often as possible and we would encourage the use of tablet apps and games to assist with this, especially DoodleMaths and DoodleTables. Children will receive a spelling test each Friday. Within that spelling test, the children will be randomly tested on a selection of words from the KS2 statutory spelling lists. Additional words will also be selected from the National Curriculum statutory spelling requirements. We would encourage parents assist children with learning and practicing the KS2 Statutory Spellings by breaking them into manageable chunks. There are many tablet apps and games that can be used to assist with learning and practicing spellings, especially DoodleSpell. 2019 Monday 9th September- Year 6 Overview Meeting (All parents welcome) 5pm Thursday 19th September- Y6 World War 2 Visit (All children to meet at Cascades Car Park at 8.40am- return to school for end of day as normal) Thursday 3rd October- Harvest service at Holy Trinity 2-3pm Friday 11th October- School Evacuation Day In Year 6, there are lots of websites / apps that we use to support and extend the children’s learning.
