Welcome to Foxes

Class Teacher: Mrs Carpenter
Learning Support: Mrs Wedge

Welcome back after the Easter break, I hope you are all eager and raring to go.

We will be taking every opportunity to work towards our SATs and make sure that knowledge is secure. Remember you have your homework books to help with anything that you are unsure about - do bring these in if you need anything explaining.

Mathematics

We will be continuing with the curriculum to complete everything before the SATs, this focus will be on geometry and shape. Alongside this, there will be arithmetic intervention boosters, problem solving discussions and paired work and looking at how to break down the SAT questions to make them more manageable. Please keep practising your timetables using your TTRockstar logins.

After SATs we will begin our transition work for high school.

English

We are focusing our lessons on the grammatical terms, ensuring we know what each one is, how to show this and then applying in short burst writes. Spellings are also a focus and there will be daily activities to look at the spelling rules and the year 6 spelling words.

We will be reading in school every day, through individual lessons, quiet reads, 1:1 reads, class reads 'I read, we read, you read' and with our class book. Please ensure that you have a reading book in school every day and please read at home, at least 5 times a week. Reading is vitally important for all aspects of school life.

Through the Wider Curriculum, Foxes class will be learning about Globalisation in Geography. Science will focus on Light and in History we are researching and discussing the Civil Rights Movement in America. In our Art lessons we are learning about the Renaissance period and how artists tried to change the form of art to make it represent the bible and real life.

Our PE will take place on a Wednesday and Friday. Wednesday will be gymnastics and so remember to bring your shorts. On both these days, please remember to come in your correct school PE kit.
