English
Year 6 English focuses heavily on mastering reading comprehension, advanced grammar, and fluent writing in preparation for secondary school and the Key Stage 2 SATs. Students learn to analyse complex texts, use precise punctuation like semi-colons and dashes, and adapt their writing styles for different audiences. The English curriculum includes:
Reading: word reading and comprehension
Writing: transcription (including spelling and handwriting) and composition
Writing: vocabulary, grammar and punctuation
Spoken Language
At Hatton Hill, we place a very high focus on reading - both within our curriculum and for pleasure. Each classroom has its own designated reading area and at the end of each day, children gather together to enjoy a story together.
Handwriting is taught following 'letter-join'. Parents will receive informatiion explaining how to access handwriting games and activities at home.
Please visit your child's class page for more information and suggested reading books for Year 6 children.
Our Intent and Impact (I&I) sheets below list the questions we want children to be able to answer once they have completed their learning. They also highlight key vocabulary which children must learn.
