Year 6 - Johnson and Sagan
Welcome to Year 6!
Mrs Jenner and Mr Dack are delighted to be part of your child's learning experience this academic year. We are always around to suport both you as parents and the children. If you need anything or you have any questions or queries, please don't hesitate - pop in for a chat or drop us an email to let us know.
Term Two - "Strange New Worlds"
Six brave astronauts will be selected for a mission of danger, exploration and excitement. Sixty-four trainees will begin the process, spending weeks learning about our solar system, gravity and the history of space travel (as well as training on a simulator), but only six can make the final trip - the future of mankind rests on their shoulders!
Term Two Spellings:
Spellings will be given out every Friday. The first column contains high frequency spellings the children should already know. The second contains the spelling pattern we are currently looking at. There will be a test at the end of each week featuring ten random words taken from the lists below. Children will require some help learning these words as during the test the words will be delivered in a contextually correct sentence – for example: “The children kept their shoes in a small box beneath the stairs”.

Term One - "American Gothic"
Hired by an American "realtor", the children have been tasked with locating Coraline Jones and her family - they seem to have fled their old home and are currently zig-zagging their way across the USA. Using the clues left by Coraline, the children must track them down as soon as possible.
"American Gothic" by Grant Wood (1930)
Influenced by the work of Grant Wood and the cultural significance of his 1930's piece, "American Gothic", the children came up with their own versions some of which you can see below:

Holiday Homework (Transitioning From Year 5 to Year 6)
The children have made exceptional progress since their return after the last "Lockdown". It is imperative that we keep them ticking over during the long summer holiday so as not to lose too much momentum before their return this coming September. The children have been asked to complete the following over the break:
1) Reading three times a week with an adult (if not more)
2) A weekly spelling test
3) A weekly "Flashback Ten" maths sheet
"Little and Often" is the key. The children have been told not to attempt all of it in one go, but to space it out as indicated over the holiday. As always, thanks for your support - it will really help the children as they enter this important academic year.
