Spring Term

After a super first term we are READY to begin our Spring learning! 

This term, in English, our writing will be based on a Literacy Shed Animation named Beyond the Lines. We will focus on fact files linked to our WW2 topic and also create an extended narrative piece depicting the experience of soldiers on D-Day. We will recap prior knowledge from Autumn term in grammar, punctuation and spelling whilst also learning about active and passive voice, apostrophes for contraction, modal verbs, expanded noun phrases, relative clauses, subject and object and perfect forms of verbs. 

Our Maths learning will continue to follow White Rose Maths supported by Maths Shed and NCETM Teaching for Mastery. In Year 6 we have high expectations that all pupils can achieve; we teach a rich, balanced and progressive curriculum using Maths to reason, problem solve and develop fluent conceptual understanding in each area. We will cover a range of areas this term including written and mental calculations, sequences, coordinates, calculating with fractions, measure, shape, ratio and proportion, area and perimeter.

Our Catholic Religious Education programme will focus on Expectation, Sources and Unity as we prepare for the celebration of Easter.

Science will look at animals including humans then progress to the topic of evolution. PSHE this term focuses on economic wellbeing and citizenship. Our computing program will focus on Spreadsheets and in French we will be planning a French holiday.
