Welcome to 6R

6R is taught by Miss Revill from Monday to Thursday and Mrs Pollard and Mrs Davis on a Friday.

Welcome to 6R. Please use our website to find out all about what we will be learning throughout this year, keep up-to-date with upcoming events, find useful documentation linked to our curriculum (see file downloads at the end of this page) and much more. You can also view our gallery and blog items which will show you just how much fun we have had learning throughout this year!

In Year 6, our theme for the Spring Term is 'World War One'. Our lessons will be cross-curricular which means that units of English, history, geography, ICT and PSHE will be linked together to create a more broad experience. Planned activities include: life 100 years ago, the frontline and trenches, the role of both male and females in war, writing some emotive diary pieces and much more. It would be fantastic if you could encourage your child to collect material from home - or from the library - to support this.

Homework

Homework  - maths, English and spelling - will be set on a Thursday and should be returned by the following Thursday.

Every day, children should be practising their timestables and reading for 15 minutes.

If you ever have any concerns, questions or positive feedback about any aspects of the homework, then please feel free to contact us.

As children are required to know their multiplication tables up to 12x12 by the end of Year 4, a key area of focus is to develop our multiplication tables knowledge and become times table superstars! Strong multiplication table knowledge is crucial in many areas of maths and children should be able to recall these quickly and confidently. On top of your child's weekly mathematics homework, children should spend some time each week practising their times tables. Timestable Rockstars is a great way to do this and please also enjoy exploring the times table activities below:
