Our Learning Umbrella for this term will be...
ASIA – with a focus on Mahatma Gandhi and pacific ring of fire.
Maths
It will be a busy term in Maths. We will be starting by looking at percentages, before moving on the permeter, drawing angles and plotting position and direction.
Each morning, children will revisit prior learning through Early Bird Maths questions or tasks.
It is important that the children maintain their fluency in times tables, so should continue to practice regularly using TTRs and other times table games.
Spelling
On the right is a list of the spellings that children should know by the end of year 6.
This half term we will be focusing on homophones and near homophones.
We will continue to revisit the spelling the children have already been introduced to.
