Spelling – we will follow a Y6 scheme from Twinkl- which focuses on statutory vocabulary as well as spelling rules and patterns. 

We will practise writing at the expected standard - you can see what your child needs to include in their writing to reach the expected standard or beyond by clicking here.

We will develop our reading skills - to practise using inference, summarising and prediction- using a whole class book as well as our SATs book texts.

We will also continue to revise and learn new Grammar and Punctuation terminology in preparation for SATs!

Science

In Science this term we will be learning about:

Living things and their habitats

Pupils should be taught to:

  • describe how living things are classified into broad groups according to common observable characteristics and based on similarities and differences, including micro-organisms, plants and animals
  • give reasons for classifying plants and animals based on specific characteristics

Animals including humans

Pupils should be taught to:

  • identify and name the main parts of the human circulatory system, and describe the functions of the heart, blood vessels and blood
  • recognise the impact of diet, exercise, drugs and lifestyle on the way their bodies function
  • describe the ways in which nutrients and water are transported within animals, including humans

 

Throughout the term we will carry out investigations to develop our scientific skills further and apply what we have learned.
