Year 6 teachers:

Mrs Wright and Miss Wheeler

Autumn 2

This half term, we will be scientists studying answering the question ‘How have classification, evolution and inheritance shaped our current world?’.

Writing

In writing, our new Power of Reading text will be ‘Moth – An Evolution Story’ by Isabel Thomas. We will be learning to write non-chronological reports, poems and narratives.

Reading

This term the children will be engaging in a range of different texts. Ask your child what they have been reading during reading fluency lessons this week!

Every child will take home a school reading book that is linked to their reading assessment.

Remember to read at least 3 times a week at home and record this in your school reading log to show your class teacher.

Every Friday, the children have the opportunity to visit our school’s ‘Lost Library’.

During their weekly library sessions children can change their existing library books. These are taken home for them to enjoy in their home setting!

Remember to bring your library book to school on your library day so you can change it!

Maths

At Northfield St Nicholas, we adopt a Mastery approach during our lessons. Daily children will engage three maths sessions, timetables, maths mastery and maths workout. The children’s lessons will be based upon their gaps and will use the mastery ‘White Rose’ program.
