Year 6 - Autumn Curriculum Newsletter
Welcome back to the Autumn Term, we hope you had a fabulous Summer! Hopefully, you find this letter informative; please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any questions.
Homework:
Our expectation at Broadford is that every child should do the following every night:
● 15 minutes reading to themselves or an adult (signed in the reading record)
● 15 minutes practising spellings in their spelling book
● 15 minutes rehearsing times tables facts (including multiplication and division)
Mathletics and Times Table Rock Stars:
Every child has now received their login details for Mathletics and Times Table Rock Stars, which means they can access their accounts outside of school. Both websites offer valuable resources that can support your child’s learning in Maths so please encourage your child to use them.
Spellings:
Spellings will be given out on Mondays. The children should practise their words every evening. Spelling books must be brought in on Fridays, which is also when the weekly test happens. This will be closely monitored.
P.E and Art Lessons
Year 6 participate in P.E lessons on a Monday afternoon and will have Art lessons on a Thursday afternoon. Please ensure that your child is in possession of a full, named P.E kit for their lessons.
Parental help
It is always extremely valuable to have parents who are able to volunteer time to help hear the children read, or support them with their times tables. If you think that you are able to give regular time to support the children then it would be warmly welcomed.
Stay & Learn sessions
We welcome all Year 6 parents into class on the following date to work with your children.

Curriculum Information
We have included a summary of the topics which the children will be covering this term. If you would like to make any suggestions of what you or your child would like to learn, please inform your child’s class teacher as we welcome any suggestions you may have.
Thank you for your continued support, we look forward to the year ahead and are sure it will be full of fabulous learning experiences!
