Autumn 1 Learning

 

Writing

In our Literacy lessons we will be exploring a range of texts that allow us to dive deeper into the writing world. We will use sentence stacking lessons to build our ideas as we focus on writing techniques and complete an independent piece to show off our author skills. Throughout our writing process, we will edit our work independently and include new vocabulary. 

 

For our first unit, the children will be following the emotional journey of the main character, Conor, in 'A Monster Calls' by Patrick Ness. We will look closely at the meaningful, descriptive vocabulary and discuss the emotional journey.

Reading

During our guided reading lessons this half-term, Year 6 will look at a variety of texts including 'A Monster Calls' and 'Skellig'. We will be practising our reading fluency, understanding word meanings in context, summarising and answering retrieval questions. We will use our inference skills to zoom in closer as we look at themes, characters and events in the texts. 

 

Maths

In Maths, we will be diving deeper into developing our knowledge of place value, addition, subtraction, division and multiplication. As we work through the four operations, we will apply our mathematical knowledge to various word problems. The children will work on solving the word problems with increasing independence and manipulatives from around the classroom to build their confidence. Mathematical vocabulary will be used throughout our class discussions and the children's explanations.

In our RE lessons this half-term, our unit is called 'Creation and Covenant'.
