Green Dragon Primary School

What’s the big idea?

What defines a successful leader? How are individuals able to become so powerful? We will be looking at the causes of World War 2, and the effects that this event had on different countries around the world.

History

We will be able to:

• Find out about aspects of the past from a range of sources

We will know:

• What lead to the beginning of World War II.

We will be developing our understanding of:

•  How some aspects of the past have been represented and interpreted in different ways.

International

We will know:

• About ways in which the lives of people in the countries we have studied affect each other.
• About similarities and differences between the lives of people in different countries in the past.

We will be able to:

• Identify ways in which people work together for mutual benefit.

Please help your child to know all of the times tables facts up to 12 x 12 and their related division facts.

We will also be working hard on:

• Decimals; percentages; algebra; converting units; area and perimeter.

• We will be learning how to write: Diary entries, letters and persuasive texts.
• We will continue to improve our SPaG knowledge, skills and understanding, in particular: spelling rules involving suffixes and prefixes, and adverbial phrases showing time, manner and place.

School day:

The Year 6 school day starts at 8.40am. Your child needs to enter school through the main gate and walk through the KS2 playground. Staff will direct your child.

All adults dropping off or picking up children must wear face masks from now on. Thank you. Please ensure you stay two metres away from other families.

Your child needs to be collected from the KS2 playground at 3.10pm, unless they walk home alone. If your child can walk home alone, please fill out the form that you can collect from the office (this includes those children who walked home alone last year).   

PE Kits

School PE uniform is black shorts (or tracksuit bottoms) with a white t-shirt. Year 6 will have P.E. on a Monday and a Friday so please ensure that your child wears their P.E kit on these days to school. Please make sure that these are weather appropriate.  

Homelearning:

Children will be set home learning through Mathletics and DB Primary. These  link to learning we are doing in the classroom. We will email you each week to let you know when this is ready.

Homelearning is set on a Monday, and must be completed by the following Monday.

Your child has their login details – if you need these again, please email:  wyvern@greendragon.hounslow.sch.uk

If you have any problems with completing the homelearning tasks, please talk to your teacher at pick up or email your teacher.

Entry Point and Exit Point:

Normally, we would invite you to celebrate the learning with us in school. Instead, photos of the children’s learning are shared each week in the school newsletter.
