In our English lessons this term, we will be reading The Good Thieves by Katherine Rundell. Fresh off the boat from England, Vita Marlowe has a job to do. Her beloved grandfather Jack has been cheated out of his home and possessions by a notorious conman with Mafia connections. Seeing Jack's spirit is broken, Vita is desperate to make him happy again, so she devises a plan to outwit his enemies and recover his home.
She finds a young pickpocket, working the streets of the city. And, nearby, two boys with highly unusual skills and secrets of their own are about to be pulled into her lawless, death-defying plan. During our final term of Year 6, we will be using this fantastic book to consolidate our writing skills before our transition to High School.
Maths
This term, we will be studying, statistics, shape and position and direction in detail. We will continue to revisit other areas that we have previously studied and will be making sure that our arithmetic skills are ready to rock ready for High School!

Maths
Science
This half term, we have one of my favourite Science themes which is Evolution and Inheritance.
By the end of this half term, we will be able to:
​
-
recognise that living things have changed over time and that fossils provide information about living things that inhabited the Earth millions of years ago
-
recognise that living things produce offspring of the same kind, but normally offspring vary and are not identical to their parents
-
identify how animals and plants are adapted to suit their environment in different ways and that adaptation may lead to evolution

Theme
Is there another Nantwich between New York and Los Angeles? Well, Year 6, during this term, you are going to be finding out the answer to this question using a range of skills and knowledge.
We will be busy making comparisons between Nantwich and areas of the USA which will fit in fantastically with our Science units this term as we will also be able to investigate the similarities and differences between living things and their habitats.
