Term 4
Welcome back to Term 4 – we hope your children had an excellent and restful half term.
This term, we will continue to explore Geography as our focus topic, but we will be moving onto exploring ‘Trade’. The unit will involve information about the history of Bristol trade, international imports and exports and economy. Alongside this, we will be creating waistcoats in DT, using our designing and sewing skills, and continue to learn about ‘Living Things and their Habitats’ in Science.
In English, we will look at the text, ‘Where the Forest meets the Sea’ to create our own innovative stories. In Maths, we will begin the term measuring and drawing angles and looking at converting measurements. After, we will cover time, algebra, statistics and ratio and proportion.
Over the course of the term, we hope to start setting Year 6s, SATs-based maths tasks to complete each week (Wednesdays). This is to give the children a “little and often” practice of the style of questions they will see in their assessments. We would really appreciate if you could check-in with your children regarding this and help them to mark their homework, before they return them. Please do let your class teacher know if you require any support with this.
Finally, this term is filled with lots of exciting opportunities; Year 6 Lifeskills Trip, STEM House Event, Red Nose Day and World Book Day – what a fun time we will have!
