Maths – New additionsBinaryFeatures of a circleVolumeMore complex algebraAreas of different shapes:

triangles, trapeziums etc.

LiteracyBig focus this year on extended

writing.The children will produce at least

6 extended pieces of writing over the year (1 every half term).

These will be levelled and make up the teacher assessment for writing.

The children’s writing is not assessed by a test. Alleluia!

Year 6We just expect them to be

brilliant, which they are.We try to equip them for the next

phase in their life (High School) and make sure that transition is a smooth as possible.

Have a look at the High Schools if you are unsure. Get a feel of what will suit your child best. After all, you know your child better than anyone else.
