HARTON PRIMARY SCHOOL- YEAR 6.

Pupils will be given spellings to learn each week and English Homework will be given on Thursdays.

We will also be looking at the relationship between fractions and decimals, developing understanding of properties of 2D shapes and creating and interpreting graphs. Maths homework will generally be given twice a week. Please encourage your children to use Mathletics at home.

RE: We will be investigating ceremonies and rituals as well as looking closely at ‘The Gospels’
