Hello and welcome to Year 6!

Class Teacher: Mr Harris

Welcome to Year 6!
​We have hit the ground running at the start of this academic year and are working hard across the curriculum. We've already been on a residential trip and are looking forward to the exciting times ahead of us.
Our current theme is called 'Greece Lightning', which involves us researching life in Ancient Greece. Meanwhile, in science we are busy exploring human physiology, in particular learning about the cardiovascular system.

Key information:
PE is every Monday afternoon
Forest School is every other Friday afternoon

-  Useful revision links:
Although we know that you want to help your child do well in their upcoming SATs, please do not use past SATs papers at home - we use them in school to aid our assessment. There are many 'practice papers' available, so please use these instead. There are also lots of websites that can help with particular skills, these are usually far more engaging than a test paper, so are a much better alternative at home!

Math Antics - an American video that explains percentages really nicely. He does other areas of maths too!

www.mathplayground.com/ From the home page, select the area you'd like to practice and play the game!
​uk.ixl.com_/ Select the area you'd like to work on - limited access on a daily basis 

TopMarks - a site with lots of maths games - just pick an area for practice and play!

BBC Bitesize - lots of help with many different areas

The children have voted 'Hitler's Canary' by Sandi Toksvig as our current class novel.
