Here’s what we’ll be covering over this term in Year 6:

English

In English, we will be using a video called ‘The Piano’ to write flashback stories. We will also be using a different video called ‘Titanium’ to write a story in first person. We will also be revision grammar content for the SATs and reading Pig Heart Boy.

Maths

In maths, we will be learning about statistics, algebra and revising all that we have learnt for the SATs tests.

Topics that we will be covering across the half-term

Science – Circulatory system
History – How crime and punishment have changed through the ages
RE – How AI has affected religion

PE

Our PE days are Wednesday and Friday.

We have tag rugby and hockey in PE this half term

Please ensure children have the correct kit in school for when they need it including trainers.

Homework

As we are preparing the children for their end of primary school assessments and their transition to high school, we do have slightly higher homework expectations than they may have experienced before. We check this every week and any homework not completed will be completed during breaks and lunchtimes at school with support from staff.

We will offer lunchtime clubs for children to stay in to complete any of their homework if they choose to.

This is the homework children will be expected to do:

Children need to read at home at least 3 times per week and log this on BoomReader.
Children need to learn their spellings each week.
Children will be given maths homework every Friday and this is due the following Wednesday.
Children need to complete 21 minutes of TT Rockstars.

Thank you for your support with your child’s learning.

Planned Trips

Tuesday 11th March – Chiltern Academy visiting to give a science workshop on heart dissection to year 6 children.

Dates for your diary

Friday 6th March - UKS2 celebration assembly.

Offer day for secondary school places – The national offer day for secondary school places in the UK for September 2026 is Monday 2^nd March 2026. This is when Year 6 pupils will find out which school has offered them a place. You should receive an email on this day. Please ensure to regularly check your emails so that you don’t miss any communication from the high schools.

Advanced Notice: Monday 11th May to Thursday 14th May 2026 – Children will sit their SATs. We will be doing lots of work in school in order to prepare the children for these, but it makes a huge difference if you read every day with your child at home and encourage them to practise their spellings and complete their homework on time.
