Our Learning

This term:

During this term (Autumn 2), Year 6 will be covering lots of different areas of the curriculum. Our learning will all be based around our new topic "Up up and away".

Maths

In maths this term our main focus is addition and subtraction and multiplication and division. One day a week, the lesson focus will be on reasoning questions and mental arithmetic (10 in 10s).

English

In English, we will be recapping and practising previous skills, such as: compound sentences, ISPACE sentence starters, subordinating conjunctions and paragraphing.  We will explore these skills through a range of different text types, working towards writing our own biographies and looking at setting descriptions to build suspense and tension.
