Spring Term 2024
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: Decimals
Number: Percentages
Number: Algebra
Measurement: Perimeter, Area and Volume
Number: Ratio
English
This term we will be using 'Resist' by Tom Palmer - a story about Edda, a teenage girl who is part of the Dutch Resistance against the Nazis during the German occupation of the Netherlands during WWII.
This text will inspire our writing of a non-chronological report, a narrative and a diary entry.
We will also be using the short film 'The Piano' to inspire our writing in the latter part of the term.
The Wider Curriculum
It's so important to us for our children to learn a broad and balanced curriculum.
This term Year Six will explore World War II, it's impact upon Britain and it's impact upon our local area.
In RE we will be reflecting upon Christian Community...
