Welcome to our P6/7 class page! 

We're looking forward to a fantastic year of learning, discovery and fun. Here on our page, you'll find updates on what we've been learning in class, photos of projects and activities and important dates of upcoming events. 

Numeracy

In Numeracy this term we will be completing a variety of lessons on:

• Area and Perimeter
  
• Algebra
• Decimals and Percentages
• Statistics

We will also be spending this term developing our mental maths skills - specifically focusing on building our accuracy and speed. We will be using activities such as Mental Minute, Freckle and Quick 6.

Literacy

In Literacy we will be looking at a range of spelling patterns, grammar and creative writing tasks. 

This term we will be looking at building sentence fluency by introducing a range of sentence starters to enhance our creative writing.

As part of our reading focus this year alongside AR, we are reintroducing guided reading sessions each afternoon where we will read and discuss our ideas on the group novel and complete activities based on what we have read.

Following on from last term, we will also be developing our comprehension skills through VIPERS questioning - Vocabulary, Inference, Prediction, Explain/Evidence, Retrieve and Summarise. 

World Around Us

As we begin a new term, we are looking at the topic “Extreme Earth”. Within our topic, we will be discussing what we already know and what we would like to find out. We will be learning about the different types of extreme weather that can occur across the globe. We will learn about what causes it, how it affects a country and what protocols they put in place to limit the effects of the extreme weather. 

We will also be taking part in a variety of ICT and art lessons relating to our topic. 

Homework

We have had a few changes to homework this term. Each week the children will have the following activities to complete each night:

• Spellings - written out with 2 sentences using the spellings for the week
• Mental Maths
• Reading:
  • Guided reading book (1 chapter per night)
