Where the learning happens!...

Our Creative Curriculum Title for Autumn Term is:

This term’s learning will be based around the topic of ‘Fight For Your Rights’ and we will be looking at important social movements through History, both in this country and internationally. We will look at important historical figures and will be considering how their actions have affected the world we live in today.

Our Creative Curriculum Title for Spring Term is:

Time Travellers!

We are travelling back in time to Ancient Maya! We will be discovering what life was like in Ancient Maya, what the Maya Civilisation invented, how their culture contrasts with British culture and what impact they have had on our world today!

Have a look at some of our amazing learning so far in our class blog!

Information for Parents

PE with the sports coaches will take place every Thursday morning. Please can you ensure your child has the correct kit (white t-shirt, black shorts and pumps/trainers) for PE.

We do our spelling test every Wednesday. Please practise the spelling words which are sent home with your child. We have a spelling leaderboard in our class and the child to get to 100 points first wins a prize!

Please read with your child for 10 minutes each night. This is absoluetly cruical if they are to be a successful learner in Year 6.

Class Dojo

At Abingdon Primary School we use a commucation app called Class Dojo. We use this to engage parents by sharing photos and videos of exciting moments in the classroom. It is also an effective way for teachers and parents to communicate.

Times Table Rock Stars

In Year 6 it is crucial that children know their times tables up to the 12x table.

At Abingdon, we use Times Tables Rock Stars. This is an exciting and engaging way for children to practise, and become fluent in, their times tables. Children are encouraged to play at home to improve their speed and scores.

They can also earn points and certificates through Times Table Rock Stars, so please encourage your child to play at home.

Year 5/6 Statutory Spellings

Below is a list of spellings all Year 6 children should read and write by the end of the year. These words are sent home as part of their spellings each week. Please help support your child's learning by practising these at home.
