Dear Parents and Guardians,
Welcome back! We hope you and your children had a wonderful and restful break together after an action-packed Term 2 learning about ‘Migration’. We are now embarking on Term 3, which looks set to be equally as busy and fun filled as the last term.
In Discovery this term, the children will begin their STEAM unit, and students will have the opportunity to think like a scientist, an engineer and a mathematician while addressing the question, ‘How could your learning transform the world?’ In line with this, in English, we will be looking at how explanation texts can help organise and share our understanding. We will also introduce an English and Discovery unit, ‘How can we have a successful transition?’ This unit is intended to support students in navigating the journey between Primary and Secondary by harnessing their excitement and discussing any other emotions that they may be feeling.
The Learning for Life curriculum, which focuses on promoting our pupils’ health and wellbeing, has been taught throughout the academic year. During Term 3, we will be teaching the Relationships and Sexual Education (RSE) element. Specific information about this will be shared in a separate Hub bulletin.
Please continue to discuss your child’s learning with them. Much of their work is recorded within their Google Classroom.
With regard to homework, we will be continuing with our regular system and schedule of:
- All homework is set in their inquiry home learning workbooks on a Friday, to be completed for the following Friday. This consists of an inquiry question and a retrieval practice worksheet.
- Reading each night. Children are to record the title of their book and the pages that they read in their diaries on a daily basis. Please can you, as parents, sign this too.
Please find the Year 6 Term 3 Key Dates linked HERE.
For more information regarding Year 6 for the academic year 2025–26, please refer to the linked Welcome to Year 6 and the Key Stage 2 (Years 3 – 6) Curriculum Handbook, which can also be located on the Hub.
We look forward to welcoming you back to school very soon.
Best wishes,
The Year 6 Team
