Toucans - Year 6 2021 - 2022

Autumn Term 2 - 2021

Curriculum Overview

Welcome to the Toucans class page. Here parents will be able to see an overview of the learning that is planned for the coming half term. Please make a note of the following information:

• PE lessons will be on Monday and Wednesday. Children must have their PE in school all week. It will be sent home every Friday to be washed and returned the following Monday. Please ensure all clothing is clearly labelled with your child's name.
• As it starts to get colder, it is recommended that children have a pair of jogging bottoms, jumper/hoodie, gloves and a warm hat in their PE bag.
• Homework will be set on Friday and is due on the following Wednesday. Information on each week's task will be added to Teams on Thursday/Friday of each week.
• Every Wednesday, Mrs Austin will be taking the class for the whole day. Mrs Austin will be teaching PE, Art (or DT), Music and RE.

Daily reading at home is essential, and we advise that children in upper Key Stage 2 read for 15-20 minutes to encourage a love for reading, to develop new vocabulary and to strengthen their writing skills. Whilst listening to your child, ask them questions about events that have happened so far, characters' thoughts and motives and to make accurate predictions based on the text.
