English
We are looking forward to sharing some interesting fiction and non-fiction texts during this spring term. Here is an introduction to the books we will be studying together: 
- Recognise vocabulary and structures for formal speech and writing, including subjunctive forms
- use a wider range of devices to build cohesion
- use a colon to introduce a list and use semi-colons within lists
- punctuate bullet points consistently
- recognise vocabulary and structures for formal speech and writing, including subjunctive forms
- identify the audience for and purpose of writing
- choose the appropriate register
- use semi-colons, colons or dashes to mark boundries between independent clauses.
We will also be focusing on:
Weekly spellings, grammar, comprehension and whole class reading tasks using the reciprocal reading approach
Reading Plus in class and at home (this can be included twice in the Reading Record.)
Reading
In KS2 we follow a programme called Reciprocal Reading. This is an activity that takes the form of a dialogue between teachers and children as they read as a whole class or in groups. A reciprocal approach provides our children with four specific reading strategies: Questioning, Clarifying, Summarizing, and Predicting. When you listen to your children read, we encourage you to discuss the story lines, plot, characters and the meaning of unfamiliar words.
Reading Homework: we expect daily reading at home. We ask that at least three reads are from the teacher directed ‘book banded’ book and two are from an online reading program (Reading Plus or Reading Eggspress). ALL reads should be recorded in the yellow reading record books to allow staff to keep a record and celebrate success at the end of each term.
Maths
Mathematics
In Y6, we are teaching for mastery in our maths lessons. Through carefully planned teaching and the support of a 'Power Maths' scheme we enable all children to access the maths curriculum at their level and open up opportunities for all children to work within a mastery approach. 
The children also have access to TTrockstars, My Maths and Numbots to support their Maths progression through app and online resources.
This Spring term Year 6 will focus on the following topics:
Geometry- Properties of shape
Geometry- Position and direction
Decimals

Maths Homework: In UKS2 we ask that you continue to support us with multiplication knowledge by using TTRockstars on a daily basis. We recommend 10 minutes each day.

How you can support us.
Reading -
Reading with your child is the most important thing you can do to support their learning at home.
Please try and read every night and log this in the yellow reading record. Three reads are needed from the teacher directed book-banded reading book. We suggest that in UKS2, children should be reading approximately 10 pages per night to increase reading stamina. Two reads should be from the online reading platforms.
Your child's Reading Plus and Eggs passwords are in their reading diary. If you have any trouble signing in online, please ask one of us.
We are all taking part in the Round the World Reading Challenge which allows your child to 'travel' to new world destinations each time they read at home at 5 times a week for ten weeks. Don't forget, Reading Plus/Eggs will count as a read and make sure you record these! Let's get reading!
Maths - please help your child learn Times Tables. TTRockstars is a brilliant app to help with this. Additionally, children need to complete online maths learning using Doodle maths and Numbots for at least 10 minutes each day.
Please feel free to contact and talk to us in regards to any of your children’s needs.
Key Information
Homework
Please ensure that you bring your child's school reading book bag back into school daily as this will be used to bring home important letters and it will keep our reading books safe.
Your child should bring in a water bottle that is sent home to be thoroughly cleaned each evening.
Spellings
Spellings are very important in UKS2. A spelling list will be sent home each week. This will be words that have the spelling patterns we are learning, plus a short list of statutory words. We suggest the children write out the spellings in a list, in sentences, in rainbow colours and in pictures. These different methods, support the child to remember the patterns and spellings. We also suggest pointing out the spelling patterns in daily reading.
