You can find out more about our curriculum this term in the Curriculum leaflet below.
Daily Essentials
Times Tables and Mental Maths - Please practise your times tables and other mental maths skills using a preferred method. This could be using Hit the Button or Daily 10 (both of which can by found on the Useful Links page of this website) or any other method you prefer.
Square and Cube Numbers - A big part of Year 6 is being able to recall Square and Cube numbers up to 12 quickly and accurately. See how many you can learn by practising some each day. (For Example: 22 = 2x2 = 4 53 = 5 x 5 x5 = 125)
Reading - Please read your school reading book every day. Should you finish it you could create a book review to tell other children about the book.
Spelling - Please learn your school spellings which you will be tested on in school. Below there is a document including the Year 5 and 6 National Curriculum words. Each day you could choose a few these words and make a poster, acrostic poem or other mnemonic device to help you to remember the spellings. Try to choose what you would consider the trickier words from the list.
Year 6 enjoyed a well-deserved afternoon at the Village Green after working so hard on their Sats tests. They even had a surprise visit from the Ice Cream Van.
