Year 6,
You have been busy this week with a whole range of
activities. In English, you have been writing your narratives – they are
fantastic so far. In maths, you have
worked with units of measure, including both metric and imperial measures. In science,
you considered the impacts of smoking, vaping and alcohol on our bodies, and in
geography you studied the impact of migration on populations, also relating
this to your learning on refugees in PSHE. Today, phew, what a day…. You practised
for the carol concert in church, had Christmas Jumper Day, ate Christmas
Dinner, served the staff (you did an amazing job), and watched a movie in the
afternoon.
This week your home learning pages are:
- Maths
– pg19-20
- Grammar
- pg 52-53
Next week is your final week of term and our final week on
2024 together! In maths, you will finish your work on units of measure, and then
move onto more Christmassy maths. In English, you will finish your stories,
edit them, write them up in best, and hopefully have a chance to share them or
your poems with Year 4 (you will not be forced to). We will also attempt to
find time to continue your websites in computing and work on populations in
geography. You will also have a chance to watch the KS1 show, have Sharing Assembly,
KS2 Christmas party, your Carol Concert, and potentially complete some Christmas
Spanish. Your project is due on Monday, and next week you will also have a
chance to share these with each other.
Half term project - Amazing Authors!
This half term’s task requires you to become an amazing author. You are
able to free-write on a topic of your choosing or using the picture that I have
provided. Your writing can be typed or handwritten but must be your work. You
can write fiction or non-fiction (e.g. a biography on your favourite
footballer), 1st or 3rd person, past or present
tense – depending on what you prefer. This is all about you writing in a style
that you like!
I do however, have some expectations: minimum 500 words, maximum 3 pages,
writing that has been edited in the same way that we do in class – spellings,
varied sentences, vocabulary choice and I’ll say it again - it must be your own
work!
Your project is due on Monday 16th December 2024 where
you will have a chance to enjoy each other’s stories in small groups.
