5. The Big Question ?
We will be continuing with the Big Question this
year, linking all the subjects around one topic. Our
first Big Question is ‘How did evacuation affect the
lives of children from Chorlton Park during WW2?’
Throughout the year we will be having ‘Themed
Days’ where the children have the opportunity to
reflect on what they have learnt.
Parents will be invited to come along and join in with
the days activities so watch out for information.
6. •Reading – every night.
•Maths and Literacy/ topic:
Maths – given out every week on a Tuesday to be
handed in on a Friday.
Literacy/Topic - given out at the beginning of term
with set dates for completion in the pack although
extra pieces may be given.
7. In Year 6 we take home learning very seriously,
using it as a tool to further the children’s
knowledge and understanding. Therefore we
expect books to be read regularly, tables to be
learnt and home learning to be handed in on time
every week.
We encourage the children to complete
independent research at home and look forward
to receiving this via email or reading it on the
blog!
8. As in Year 5, at the end of each week, your child will complete a
Learning Log in their home learning books, writing down some of
the things that they have learnt about during the week.
They will be told some of the things that they will be learning
about the following week and these will also be written on their
learning log.
We will ask the children to get a parent/ carer to sign their
learning log each weekend so we know that they are sharing them
with you.
We hope this allows you to feel more involved in your child’s
learning and that you find it a useful tool to spark discussions
with your child about what they are learning about in school.
