Juniper Class - Year 6
Welcome to Class Juniper
Welcome to Class Juniper! Our teacher is Miss Jones. Out teaching assistant is Mrs Noble. Mrs Skinner helps us on Thursdays and Fridays.
Our final year at Aughton Town Green is upon us! We have lots of exciting things to look forward to.
Here is a summary of some of the work we will be completing in the autumn term:
English:
We are currently reading 'Letters from the Lighthouse'. This links in with our History topic. We will use drama, class reading and short writing opportunities to explore the text.
Reading is very important to us and we will read every day. Our class novel is 'Once' and we will read a variety of texts in our guided reading sessions.
Maths:
This term, we are looking at place value and calculation strategies as well as statistics and shape. We have lots of very keen mathematicians in Class Juniper!
History
We will be World War 2, specifically linked to Aughton and Liverpool.
Science: Our topic for this half term is 'Reversible and Irreversible Changes'.
Music: Our Music topic is based on 'Lean on Me'.
P.E/Games:
Our PE lessons will be on Wednesdays and Thursdays.
On Wednesdays we will be doing dance with Mrs Houghton. On Thursdays we will looking at invasion games- football then basketball.
We will come to school in our PE kits with trainers on these days. We do not need to bring our uniform- we will stay in our kits all day.
Our important things to remember:
Homework:
On Fridays we will be given a homework task which will be due in by Thursday of the following week. This will vary and could be on any of the subjects we are learning
Please keep an eye out on Class Dojo for a reminder of your task.
Maths- TT Rockstars each week.
English- Spelling Shed spelling practice.
We will also have an independent reading task- we need to record what we are currently reading in our Reading Records. There is a reward of extra break time if we do this.
