Hello again Year 6.
I always say how quickly Year 6 goes by and if the start of
this one is anything to go by then I am sure that this year will be no
exception. It must be down to all of the hard work this week…
On to next week, where in English we will be using drama to
explore the text further before writing newspaper reports about the Vanishings.
In maths, we will be looking at negative numbers before
adding and subtracting integers and finding common multiples and factors of
numbers.
In science, you will be continuing with the topic on living
things and their habitats by looking at sub-divisions of broad groupings such
as micro-organisms, plants and animals.
In history, we will be focussing on Crime and Punishment
specifically within the Roman period.
In art we will be completing our watercolour pictures for
the display.
You have no formal homework to complete this weekend, as you
have now been set our half termly home learning project, All About Me. This project is to be completed over the next 4 weeks
and the focus will be on presenting yourself to the world how you really want everyone to see you. I
discussed the different ways that you may present this –as a poster,
PowerPoint/Prezi presentation and/or shoebox but the choice really is yours. I
was particularly pleased to hear some of you ask if it is OK to produce
pictures/paintings as this is exactly what I would be looking for from those of
you who enjoy being creative. This project is an opportunity to share YOU and
what makes you tick with your friends, so the more effort you put in, the
better the final outcome will be and the more you will get out of this process.
Just remember though, I will be disappointed if, after this four weeks, you
turn up with just a few items that you have grabbed together at the last minute
or even just a scribbled note of paper written the night before the deadline. Enjoy
the freedom that you have with this though and I genuinely look forward to what
you all produce at the end of it. The deadline for completion will be Monday 16th
October, when you will be presenting your completed projects to the class.
Have a good weekend
Mr Gradwell
