Spring Term
Welcome to Hazel Class.
Our Geography focus for this term is 'Frozen Kingdoms', where the children will be learning about the characteristics and features of polar regions, including the North and South Poles, and includes a detailed exploration of the environmental factors that shape and influence them.
In Design and Technology, we will be focusing on 'Engineer', where the children will learn about remarkable engineers and significant bridges, learning to identify features, such as beams, arches and trusses. They complete a bridge-building engineering challenge to create a bridge prototype.
In Art this term we will be focusing on 'Inuits', where the children will be learning about the Inuit way of life, including some of their cultural and artistic traditions.
Each week, your child will be set:
Please upload a picture of completed homework to ClassDojo.
Please note that our timetable is flexible and may be subject to change.
Spellings and Phonics: It is expected that in Year 6, all the Year 3/4 words and Year 5/6 list of spellings are are known. Please practise these and USE these words in your writing.
Remember to use some of our Spelling strategies!
Times Tables: This is still vitally important!! Most of the Year 5/6 Maths curriculum links to pupil knowledge of timestables so it is extremely important to keep those skills sharp! Keep practising - with TTRS and Sumdog!
Lexia: Lexia is proven to help children make accelerated progress when reading, writing and speaking. Regular access of this will help children make good progress with their spelling and reading comprehension skills!

PE is every Wednesday and Thursday. Please ensure your child wears their named, correct PE kit in school on these days, that earrings are not worn and long hair is tied up.
The children have access to their water bottles in the classroom during the day. Please ensure that your child has a named water bottle in school which is taken home regularly to be washed.
Your child is welcome to bring in a healthy snack of fruit or vegetables each day.
Reading books are your child's responsibility and they will be responsible for changing their own book. Please record the date and title of the book that they have chosen in their reading record and make sure that your child’s reading record is signed to say they have finished their book and read as regularly as you can with them at home.
