Year Six

In Year 6  have an action packed term ahead of us which will continue to bring many challenges, rewards and success. As the class start their final full term at Fullerton, we are committed and focused on preparing them to achieve their potential academically whilst recognising the importance of developing the whole child and preparing them to live life in all it's fulness. 

Throughout our first term the children have met each challenge head on and shown great resilience to tackle some of the challenging content we have to cover this year. I am confident they will continue to meet each obstacle head on and work as the team we are to achieve great things.

Home learning - We will send home learning tasks each Friday which will consist of a mixture of SPaG, maths and spellings activities.

PE - Our PE days will be on Thursday's this term and will start with Tennis (HT3) before moving on to Athletics (HT4).

Class Text - our class text this term is "The Boy at the back of the class" and tracks the story of a group of friends who are surprised when a new starter joins their school. They learn that the new starter is a refugee who has left a war torn country and together they hatch a plan to turn around the fortunes of this vulnerable, quiet child who is in desperate need of the kindness of others.

Literacy and Reading - Our learning this half term will be based on two Oscar Wilde books that are designed to engage the imagination of any reader. "The Selfish Giant" is a beautiful story with a theme of forgiveness whilst "The Happy Prince" is a tale themed around friendship, sacrifice and the value of sharing happiness with others.

Maths - we start our term focusing on ratio before moving on to algebra, decimals, fractions, area and perimeter before finally completing our term with statistics. Alongside this we ensure that the children are exposed to exam style arithmetic questions daily to gradually build their confidence when faced with this style of questioning.

Science - we will be looking at Electricity.

History - we look into Black British history.

Art - in our Art learning we focus on distortion and proportion.

Religious Education - we look at the enquiry question "What does it mean to be a Muslim in Britain today?".

Alongside these topics we will also be covering learning in Geography (HT2), Spanish, Music and PHSE.

If you have any questions or wish to ask us anything then please don't hesitate to contact via dojo or the school office.
