Autumn 2 - Year 6

In reading this half term, Year 6 have focused on developing their stamina and fluency, with regular opportunities to read longer and more challenging texts independently and aloud. They have explored how authors give an impression of a character through what is implied rather than directly stated, encouraging pupils to make careful inferences using evidence from the text. Children have also worked on being accurate and precise in their retrieval skills, ensuring answers are supported by relevant details. In addition, they have placed a strong emphasis on understanding new and ambitious vocabulary, using context clues and discussion to deepen comprehension and broaden pupils’ language knowledge.
