Summary of this week:

Dear Year 6 Parents and Carers,

We have had a wonderful week of celebrating sport – thank you all who came along to the Going for Gold on Friday afternoon. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit from the police and they were sensitive and professional when answering the children’s questions.

Our learning next week :

Maths: We continue to revise the most critical aspects of the Year 6 curriculum. We will spend some time on percentages and also revisit algebra.

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

Foundation: We will teach the next lesson in our history unit on civil rights – looking at the Windrush Movement. We will also continue to learn about Islam in RE.

Homework:

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 2023 SATs paper:

Touch, numbered, glorious, obey, steadily, protein, substantial.

Notices & Reminders:

Please continue to encourage your children to revise, the key is little and often. If your child is having any anxieties about the upcoming SATs tests, please contact your class teacher and we will offer support.
