Summer 2- Hola Mexico!

This term, Year 6 will embark on an exciting journey to explore the vibrant and diverse country of Mexico. From its dramatic landscapes and rich cultural traditions to its ancient temples and delicious cuisine, pupils will dive into a wide range of topics. We’ll uncover the secrets of the Maya civilisation, investigate the geography of the region, learn about colourful festivals and even try our hand at preparing Mexican meals. Get ready for a fascinating adventure filled with history, culture and discovery!

Reading at Home/ Homework

Please listen to your child read every day and ensure that their Reading Diary is signed to confirm this. We are checking Reading Diaries each week. Other topic related homework will be set. Remember to check Seesaw and Purple Mash for additional activities that are set.

Seesaw

Thank you to all who have signed up for Seesaw. It is a wonderful platform for us to use to set work for the pupils and for them to share the work that they do in school with those at home. All pupils have their Seesaw home learning code in their reading diaries to access their page at home.
