Spring Two 2026
Welcome to the Y6 class page. Please see below for a summary of what we will be learning this half term.
Homework: Please continue to enjoy your reading each day. Reading is fun and a great way to spend time together with your family, as well as developing our imaginations. Encourage your child to talk about what they have read and ask them a question or two about the book. This will help consolidate their comprehension work in school. Adults please remember to record what your child reads at home in their reading record. We will count all entries in the reading diaries weekly and award golden tickets to those who have read 20 times or more in a month.
Our book changing day is TUESDAY.
Maths: A CGP paper is given out each Friday and is to be handed in by the following Friday. We work through these in class, so it's very important that they are completed and brought in on time.
Spellings: The weekly spellings are sent home each week and the children are tested on them every Friday.
English- Holes by Louis Sachar
Stanley Yelnats' family has a history of bad luck, so when a miscarriage of justice sends him to Camp Green Lake Juvenile Detention Centre (which isn't green and doesn't have a lake), it's not exactly a surprise.
Every day he and the other inmates are told to dig a hole each, five foot wide by five foot deep, reporting anything they find. Why? The evil warden claims that it builds character, but this is a lie. It's up to Stanley to dig up the truth.
