This terms Caritas Curriculum Learning
This term, year 6 explore the physical, emotional and moral responsibilities they face being unique humans, whilst recognising their differences. From learning in science about how the heart works to considering the moral question of heart transplants in Pig Heart Boy, though to exploring their local history and what shaped their local community and how it is governed. In geography they look at local maps and the changes in our local area and how to navigate them effectively. They create healthy meals in design and technology to ensure our heart keeps in shape and create healthy eating websites, using safe images and understanding copyright laws in computing. and explore their character through creating images of themselves in art. In music they explore a song on friendship and some contemporary women’s music exploring identity.

Other Helpful Hints
Reading
Please ensure that your child reads daily. They should be reading a variety of fiction and non-fiction books. It is important that they read to an adult/older sibling as often as possible. Please ask your child questions about what they have read and encourage them to give opinions about the book. Please make a note on the post-it notes provided to you when you have heard your child read and we will then make a note of this in their diary.
Spellings
This term your child will bring home a list of Year 5 and 6 spelling words. They will also need to know the year 3/4 spelling list confidently. Encourage your child to practise these words as often as possible.
Walking home
If your child has permission to walk home on their own at the end of the school day it is essential that you provide written consent, which should be handed directly to the class teacher. Children without written consent will not be given permission to walk home on their own.
Birthdays
Please be reminded that children are not to bring in party bags or sweets. Instead we ask that a book is donated to our school/class library.
Home Learning
Please see this half terms home learning activities. This should be uploaded on your notebook or completed in your home learning books, if you have any issues with this then please see Mr Foster. Abacus activities should also be completed weekly along with spellings and daily reading.
