To support with understanding definitions for spellings, the ‘Collins children’s cobuild dictionary’ is a very useful tool.
Due to the changes in the Literacy curriculum children in Year 6 are expected to be secure with all KS2 spellings. There will be no choice of spellings, in terms of degree of difficulty. All children, of all abilities, need to learn the following for next week:
actual learn
early group
heard circle
often build
eight eighth
1.Read at least 3 times and ask an adult to sign your reading diary to confirm.
2. Learn your spellings. Complete detailed sentences and definitions in your homework book.
3. Complete the blank times tables grid
4. Complete the science activity – this has a literacy focus also, so writing should be of a high standard. We have started to look at classification and children are asked to create a poster (not a Powerpoint presentation) to describe what each of the groups are like. Complete in homework book, not on a separate piece of paper please.
With the science activity it is important that children demonstrate their understanding of the different classifications that have already been introduced to them in class. They may want to focus on 2 different kingdoms and present factual information about each one or they could present all the different kingdoms in one piece of work.
accident answer
address believe
actually bicycle
appear breath
arrive breathe
Spellings will be tested from Wednesday the week beginning 10th September.
Please use this overview as a guide to the Y6 Autumn Curriculum. If you have any questions regarding any work being covered please speak to your child’s teacher.
Homework:
Aside from the homework due Monday 10th September all homework will be handed out on a Friday and returned the following Wednesday. Again, please direct specific questions to class teachers if you have any queries regarding homework.
Thank you

Good Evening all,
Year 6 need to remember their swimming kits and towels for tomorrow as we are swimming.
Homework is due Monday 10h September please.
Children are required to read at least 3 times to or with an adult and this needs to be signed.
Children need to write a detailed sentence and a definition for every spelling word.
Children are asked to complete a short times table grid over a few evenings.
The Literacy homework will feed directly in to work being completed next week on your child’s autobiography. It is essential that this piece of work is completed otherwise work next work will be tricky. They are required to discuss events in their life and record notes on each event. There are prompts on the planning sheet to support you as well as the child.
Year 6 have had a very active but fun leavers party and finished by enjoying chips and ice cream.

A huge well done to Year 6 children today, their behaviour today at TCAT for Crucial Crew was impeccable. Their efforts did not go unnoticed as NJS won 1st, 2nd and joint 3rd place.
Well done to everyone today!
All Year 6 children need to bring a plain white t-shirt in to school by Tuesday. We are making tie-dye t-shirts as part of our DT work for this term.
The t-shirts need to plain as patterns and logos can affect the quality of the dye.
