We are funny, we are bright, in year 6, we get things right!
Attitudes and values are what you need to know,
If you follow them, they will show you where to go.
Love, honesty, respect and courage,
These are some of the things we try to encourage.
Our topic is "Hola Mexico’’’
Our topic is ‘Hola! Mexico’. This topic is music and geography based as we learn about the traditional music style of Mexico and the physical and human geography of the country. We will also look at traditional celebrations of Mexico and the ancient civilisations of the country.
Books: Our guided reading book this half term is 'Boy Overboard', the story of an Afghan refugee; and the literature we are studying in English is ‘Macbeth’. We will take part in a workshop in March which will immerse ourselves into the story of Macbeth.

Homework Information:
Homework: Homework will be set every Tuesday and should be completed by the following Monday. It will be a combination of Maths tasks and English in their homework books.
Reading: We will have guided reading 4 days a week where children will be heard to read for part of the lesson at least once a week. We expect that every child should have a reading book in school which they can read for the pleasure as well as their school reading book. They should still be heard to read at home which should be recorded in their diaries.
English: Every week, we will set grammar homework to support the learning being completed in class.
Maths: Maths homework will be given or work on www.ttrockstars.com to be completed throughout the week. Login details for these will be in your child’s homework diaries.
Spellings: These will be given out every Tuesday to be learnt over the week and then tested on Monday. We will have three weekly spelling lessons, these may sometimes link to the spellings your child has to learn.
PE:
PE will be on Mondays and Wednesdays Please ensure that your child is sent into school on those days wearing their PE kit. During the winter months, PE may sometimes still be outside, so please consider a tracksuit for those colder periods. Mondays will normally be outside PE and Wednesday will normally be inside PE.
