Hopefully you've had a summer of fun and frolics as well as perhaps a little relaxation here and there. Year 6 is an exciting time for all concerned - a chance for you to work really hard and show off your potential; and a chance for us Year 6 teachers to help you achieve as much as you can in your final year of primary education.
Ok, I'll stop waffling now. Here's a couple of things you can try if you want to get off to a flying start this year...
HISTORY
This week, we'll be beginning our history topic on 'What was it like for children in World War Two?' In fact, we'll be visiting the Imperial War Museum in Lambeth next Friday (14th September) in order to view their excellent WWII artifacts and exhibitions.
Find out anything you can about the Second World War. Perhaps you could...
- chat to adult members of your family to find out what they know about it
- visit the library (ask the librarian to show you where to find books on the war)
- have a look at this link and read a little about it
MATHS
Our curricular targets in maths this term will be all about TIMES-TABLES! So why not get ahead of the game by practising the ones you do know and learning the ones you don't.
Don't do it on your own! Get somebody at home to help and test you; team up with a friend in the playground and test each other; play some of the tables games on websites like this one.
If you're thinking you can relax because you know them all already - DON'T! Make sure you can answer related questions like...
5.6 ÷ 8 = ?
6 x ? = 4,200
70 x 800 = ?
How many 60p pencils can I buy for £24?
We'll be testing you for your Bronze, Silver and Gold in each times table soon - so be ready to be a times-table hero!
