Year 6 2026 - 2027

Mrs Duvall

Y6 Teacher

 

Welcome to Year 6!  Get ready for a fun year of learning!  We will be studying so many different things that I cannot possibly name them all, but here are just a few: WW2, the geography of South America, Earth and Space and so much more!

 

              

English

  This term, we will be reading  Kenuske's Kingdom by Michael Morpurgo which is one of my favourite books!  We will also be reading the thought provoking  Star of Fear, Star of Hope by Jo Heostlandt  and will enjoy a range of poems related to the season and events such as Rembrance Day. All of these texts will inspire our narrative and non-fiction writing!  This term, we will consolidate all of our knowledge about grammar and punctuation from Year 5 and learn about the passive voice and the subjunctive form.
   

Mathematics

In maths, we will start the term with work on place value and the four operations.  We will then move onto work on our knowlegde of fractions and conversion of units.  Each day, we have an arithmetic lesson where we can practise our skills and a focused maths lesson where we learn new skills. 

Science

This term, in Science, we will be covering the following topics: All Living Things and Evolution and Inheritance.  As part of our learning, we will be conducting a range of experiments to bring the topics to life.

PSHE - This term, we will be learning about democracy, and mental health and emotional well-being. 

 

Homework 

You will be set weekly English and maths tasks. In addition, it would be a great idea to continue to use Times Table Rock Stars and Century to maintain the excellent knowledge that you have gained throughout KS2. 

Reading books need to be in school every day.  Please have your reading record signed each day so that we can make sure that you are reading regularly. You should aim to read between 20 and 30 minutes a night during the week, and at least once over the weekend.  Book quizzes may be completed at home or in school.  If you are using the app at home, then you need to access our school's designated page:

ACCELERATED READER

If you are struggling to access this at home please do let me know.
