Summer Term 2024

Hello Everyone,

Welcome to the Year 6 page and the Summer Term! We have got lots of exciting learning taking place this term.

In history, we will be learning all about The Industrial Revolution where we will examine its impact on the development of Macclesfield. We will learn about the invention of canals and the silk industry and how this led to the growth of our town. We will deepen our understanding of the wider impact the industrial revolution had on society by considering both the positive and negative effects. This will include an in-depth study of local mills as well as the changes that were brought with the onset of steam which transformed industry and transportation and the impact this had on life in Britain.

We will be expertly coached in the skills of tennis and rounders within our PE lessons. Our PE days are Tuesday and Wednesday.

Our science learning this half term will focus on light. We will learn about how we see things as we begin to investigate how light travels from light sources to our eyes. We will develop this further when we learn about how light travels in straight lines to explore why shadows have the same shape as the objects that cast them.

For more information, see our Summer Term curriculum leaflet.

Many thanks, 

Miss Vincent and Miss Cross

Reading

READ, READ, READ AND READ SOME MORE. We want to hear ALL about the amazing texts that you are reading. Reading can take place in lots of different ways and in lots of different places! You may like to read in your head, quietly to yourself, aloud to your family or your family may read aloud to you. A mixture of all of these things is fantastic!

Times Tables Rock Stars 

Everyone has their TTRS login in their organiser. This is so you can practise TTRS at home, whenever you feel like it! Times tables are not something you can learn overnight and so practising them little and often is the best way to learn them fluently. We would really love to see everyone logging onto TTRS regularly and practising those multiplication and division facts that are tricky. We can't wait to hear about what you have been practising on there.
