Spring 2 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. 

 

Reading

During our guided reading lessons this half-term, Year 6 will practice their reading fluency, secure their understanding of word meanings in context, summarise and answer retrieval questions. We will use our inference skills to zoom in closer as we look at themes, characters and events in the texts.   

This half-term, our class novel is 'KICK' by Mitch Johnson.  Through reading this novel in class, lessons focused on discussion and, using the above skills, we will dive deeper into the author's choices, the plot and character's feelings. 

Children will become confident at applying their reading skills to a wide variety of texts and genres.

Maths

In Maths, we will be diving deeper into developing our knowledge of area, perimeter and statistics. As we work through the units, we will apply our mathematical knowledge to various word problems. The children will work on solving 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. 

RE

In our RE lessons this half-term, our unit is called 'Desert to Garden'. As we journey through Lent, the children will re-cap their prior understanding of important Bible stories and strengthen their knowledge of the literal and spiritual meaning behind them.
