Y6 Notices

In English this week, we’ve been delving into the rich world of Maya mythology! The children have been planning and drafting their own Maya folktales, featuring clever heroes, mysterious creatures and important moral lessons.

In Maths this week, we’ve been finishing off our unit on multiplication and division and will spend some time looking at the maths of the Maya and comparing it to our own mathematical systems. 

Our Science lessons have focused on the human heart and the importance of keeping it healthy. We’ve explored how exercise, nutrition  and lifestyle choices affect our circulatory system. 

 In Humanities, we’ve been discovering the fascinating history of chocolate – from its origins in ancient Mesoamerica to its journey across the world. The children were amazed to learn how the Maya and Aztecs used cacao and how it evolved into the sweet treat we enjoy today. They even debated whether chocolate should be considered a luxury or a necessity – a tricky question for any chocolate lover!  

In PSHE we have been getting ready for camp, discussing and answering any questions that the children have. A list of what what the children need to pack will be posted into your child’s google classroom.

Homework will be set on Sunday and will be due on the following Sunday. 

Reading is expected to be completed daily and all students have the opportunity to change their books regularly. PO’s should be completed and signed daily so that the children have a reading record.

There is no spelling or Maths homework over the half term break.

After half term we will be setting both the Maths and spelling homework on Sundays, due in the following week.

What to wear:  

Please ensure your child comes to school in their PE kit on PE days and swimming days, and regular school uniform on non PE days - their timetable has been stuck in their Personal Organiser and can also be found on the Google classroom. 

On Mondays we have swimming, please ensure your child comes to school wearing their PE kit//uniform and brings their swim kit in a separate waterproof bag. Please make sure all swimming items are clearly labelled with your child's name.

Water Bottles and hats: Please label everything. Some children have the same water bottles and hats as others and they often get lost.

Email: We welcome communication from parents. If you would like to contact your child’s class teacher about any matter, then you can do so by writing a note in the PO, or for more complex queries please send an email to the school office, and this will be passed onto the correct member of staff. Please note, all emails should be sent via the primary office and not directly to teachers; this ensures that your query can be dealt with as quickly as possible.
