Year 6 (6KHL & 6CH)
Welcome
Welcome back! We hope you have had a great summer (despite the weather!) - we are very excited about getting to know our new pupils and kick starting the term with our new topic based around the Egyptians.
Maths
Please encourage your children to log in to Mathletics- an online Maths game forum that encourages children to practise their mental maths skills. The children should know their log ins already but we can remind them if necessary.
The In Harmony staff have created times table songs for the whole school to learn-they are on the Dovecote website if you’d like to take a look. We encourage the children to learn all their times tables so any help you can give at home would go a long way!
Any questions?
If you have any questions about anything, please come and see us!
All the best,
Mrs Rathe (the former Miss Lamb!) & Ms Hardy
Literacy
Our topic book is a newspaper style non-fiction text called The Egyptian Echo. It is a great mix of humour and historical fact and shall form the basis of the literacy tasks that we set this half-term and links to the Geography/ History topic of the British Empire’s role in Egypt and other countries around the world.
In other news…
-Spelling and Maths homework to come soon!
-We hope to take the children to the British Museum in London (sometime in October) but we are yet to confirm bookings so watch this space!
- P.E. is on a Wednesday but please ensure your child has their P.E. kit in every day.
-Please remember to read with your child at least three times a week.
