Welcome to Year 6
In Year 6, the children will be taking part in lots of different activities to engage them in their learning, we are looking forward to some of the exciting things that we have planned for them.
In English, we will be looking at different genres of non-fiction and a range of stories. The children will have even more opportunities to write in their own style to show off all that they are able to do! Year 6 will be studying a variety of grammar and punctuation skills and applying them in their writing. We will be discussing key features of different texts and trying to improve our inference skills.
During our daily Maths sessions the children we be focusing on how to approach mathematical problems with confidence. We will be learning how to apply our knowledge of number and use formal written methods for calculations. We will be investigating properties of different shapes and looking how we can transform those shapes. We will continue to use data handling skills to interpret information. Of course these aspects of Maths will be underpinned with problem solving.
Please have a look at the Curriculum Overview to find out about the other areas of the children's learning.
