Our IPC topic for this half term is: Bake It!

Our host country is Nigeria, a country known for its delicious dishes and where the famous Jollof rice orig-inates. We will be baking our own Nigerian Agege bread! This process will help us to understand how the various ingredients interact with each other to create this wonderful bread

As scientists, we will know that yeast is a microorgan-ism, the arrangement of particles in solids as well as the types of liquids and gases. We will also gain an in depth understanding of what happens when materi-als are heated and cooled .We will be able to explain and justify our predictions, plan investigations and accurately record our findings and conclusions.

As designers, we will know the way in which products are designed and made as well as how this affects their usefulness. We will be able to research and de-velop design criteria to inform the design of an inno-vative, functional, appealing product -fit for purpose.

This term, Year 6 will be focussing mainly on honing their reading comprehension skills . The children will use their inference and deduction skills to answer assessment style questions in preparation for their forthcoming SATs tests. We consistently encourage our children to justify their answers to questions posed i.e. using evidence from a text to support their answer. When reading with your child at home, try to ask questions about the text and encourage your child to justify their answer. Unsure of what to read? A copy of 100 books to read before the end of Year 6 was sent home before Easter—there are some fabu-lous book recommendations for you to read!

As mathematicians, we will be preparing for our as-sessment’s this half term. We will be spending time revising various topics covered, in order to deepen our understanding of key concepts. We will also continue to develop our skills at solving real-life word problems involving a wide range of mathematical skills.

A brief exploration of exam techniques will help us to ensure we know how to achieve our full potential during tests. This half-term we will explore measure, geometry, statistics , ratio and proportion.

Please continue to support your child with the four operations, quick calculation methods and rapid recall of times tables.

As writers, we will build on our knowledge of SPAG

(Spelling, Punctuation and Grammar) through lessons

which focus on sentence structure , spelling strategies and types of punctuation. We will make explicit links to our class book ‘The Other Side of Truth’ by Beverley Naidoo. During our writing lessons we will gain new knowledge, practice our skills and deepen our understanding of diary entries, letters and short stories. We will be able to identify common features for each genre and apply these to our own writing, making clear connections with our IPC topic, Bake It!
