Miss Selby-Hughes

Welcome to Year 6!

Click here for homework for 18th April

Here you will find information about the year ahead, including an overview of what will be taught each term, your weekly homework and a helpful list of resources to help at home. I am really looking forward to teaching Year 6 this year! We have lots of exciting things to look forward to.

If there is anything you wish to discuss in more detail, please contact the office to arrange an appointment with myself or send me an email via admin@sandiway.cheshire.sch.uk.

A Few Reminders:

PE: Children have PE every Monday and Tuesday this half term. Children should come dressed in their PE kit on these days.

Water: Children are encouraged to bring in a bottle of water each day which they can access at any time. Please ensure your child’s name is on their bottle.

Snack: If you wish to send in a snack, please make sure it is healthy - no chocolate, crisps or sweets. We are a nut free school. Snack can also be purchased from the school kitchen using credit on your child’s dinner money account.

The Curriculum

For more information on what we will be doing in the Summer term please click here.

You can also have a look on SeeSaw to see what we're up to.

English

In English we will be using the text The Selfish Giant by Oscar Wilde where we will develop our understanding of classic fiction texts and create retelling of the story. We will be reading Oscar Wilde's Happy Prince and Other Tales.

Later in the term we will be reading The Day War Came by Nicola Davies to further our study of poetry and we will be reading the Explorer by Katherine Rundell.

Maths

In maths this term we will be focusing on the relationship between fractions, decimals and percentages; ratio; algebra and area and perimeter.

For more information on the curriculum - please find the year 6 overview here.

Homework and supporting schoolwork at home is more important than ever. Our homework will continue the focus on spellings required for your child (Y3-6 words) and fluency of arithmetic skills. This will switch to a revision focus later in the year. Reading remains the most important thing to do to support your child's learning. See the list of Recommended Y6 reads for ideas for good books at the right level.

Thank you,
