Dear Year 6 Parents and Carers,

Welcome back.

We have had a busy week learning about our new history unit – Civil Rights Revolution.

A huge well done and thank you to all the children who have been completing their CGP books over the Easter – they have worked so well and applied themselves.

Maths:  We continue to revise the most critical aspects of the Year 6 curriculum. We have started revisiting fractions and will continue this. We will also look at decimals and percentages next week.

English: We will plan our own persuasive letter to convince our local MP to make Bookham more entertaining for children.

Foundation: We will start our new unit of DT – looking at technology to support manufacturing. We will start our next unit of computing – looking at Big Data.

Please continue to encourage your children to use the CGP books for revision, little and often is key, 15 minutes in the evening on a regular basis.

Spellings – Words from the 2022 SATs paper:

Special, cough, banned, character, caution, reference, survey, receipt.

Wednesday 24^th April – We are welcoming a Police Officer to Eastwick who will visit each of our Year 6 classes to provide information and answer questions they have regarding some key topics identified by staff, including consent, age of criminal responsibility, bystanding, ‘snitching’, etc. 

CGP – A huge well done to all the children for the revision they completed, all of your teachers are so proud of your effort. As a reward for the classes reaching their targets, we will be providing all of the children with a sweet treat and some games during one of the days as a thank you for their hard work.

Going for gold – Friday 26^th April is the Year 6 Going for gold sponsored event. Our slot is at 1:15 – 2:00 on the top field. Communication has been sent about this and please wear PE kit.
