Autumn Term 2023 - Welcome Back!
Maths
We follow the White Rose scheme for maths and take a mastery approach to teaching and learning. We focus on fluency, reasoning and problem solving; allowing children to become confident with concepts and then apply them in different contexts.
When introducing a new concept we follow a 'Concrete - Pictorial - Abstract' approach to support understanding and learning.
This term Year 6 will be learning:
Number: Place Value
Number: Addition, Subtraction, Multiplication and Division
Number: Fractions
Geometry: Position and direction
English
This term we will be using 'Holes' by Louis Sachar to inspire our writing in different genres.
The Wider Curriculum
It's so important to us for our children to learn a broad and balanced curriculum.
This half term Year Six will explore rivers in a local study of the River Dane. They will go on to compare this to one of the largest rivers in the world - the River Nile, noting any similarities and differences along the way.
In RE we will be reflecting upon the Kingdom of God.
