English

In Year 6, children learn to write in a variety of genres and revise styles including story writing, letter writing (formal and informal), journalistic and persuasive writing, chronological and non-chronological reports, diary writing, descriptive and explanation writing. We study and perform a play by Shakespeare and read a range of different novels by significant authors.

Children are expected to use a neat and legible handwriting style and ensure that words are spelled correctly.

Maths

In maths, children revise previous topics as well as learning more about:

• fractions, decimals and percentages;
• ratio and proportion;
• probability;
• shape, space and measures;
• data handling.

Children consolidate, refine and develop further strategies of mental calculation, solving problems with several steps, applying maths to real and imaginary problems.
