Welcome to Year 6 - Oak Class
Ancient Egyptians
In Autumn Term, we will be learning about the Ancient Egyptians, including the process of mummification, why Egyptians believed the afterlife was so important, how Gods and Godesses had a role in everyday Egyptian life and the significance of the River Nile. In other areas of the curriculum, we will be learning about inheritance and evolution, designing and making our very own automata toys and discussing the links between mental and physical well-being.

Weekly Homework Requirements
Reading - All pupils at our school are required to complete 4 reads per week at home with an adult. You can help by asking your child about what they are reading. Reading record must be signed by an adult after each read. We check the records every Thursday ready for celebration assembly.
Each child's reads will be recorded and they will be given a reward when they have reached 50, 100 and 150 reads. Spelling - New list of spellings, which must be practised at home, is sent home every week. We will test these spellings through a spelling dictation on a Friday. Spelling records will need to be in school on a Thursday to be checked and new spellings to be put in.
Times tables - In Year 6, you need to know all times tables and related division facts up to 12 x12. We advise practising them regularly to increase your speed and fluency.
