Welcome Class of 2026 to the SpringTerm of Year 6

During this term in history, we will be studying the topic of Beyond Face Value, with a focus on different periods of time, from the Tudor monarchs Henry VIII and Elizabeth I to the propanganda machine for World War II. This topic will include the study of historical sources and how they can't always be trusted.

Book Study

This term, we will begin with a book study of Rooftoppers by Katherine Rundell. This exciting novel follows the adventures of Sophie, a girl who is rescued from a shipwreck as a baby and moves to Paris to live with an eccentric foster father. While there, she meets a group of street children who call the rooftops of Paris their home.

Maths                                                                  

In maths, we will learn more about ratio as well as learning about algebra and developing our understanding further about converting fractions, decimals and percentages. We will also continue to develop our knowledge of times tables, both within school and at home, through regular daily practice.

Increasingly, we will target specific areas of weakness so that you can continue to improve and succeed.

• identifying, classifying and grouping
• comparative and fair testing
