Hello Year 6.

Here we are at Friday again already –blink and you will have missed it! I am sitting here writing this blog just as Mrs Robinson and I have finished rearranging the classroom, so for those of you who didn’t get a sneak peek after football club today, and even if you did, I can assure you all that you have a nice surprise awaiting you when you come in on Monday –especially the amazingly comfy sofa!

In English next week, we will be writing and editing our newspaper reports based on the events in the text called The Vanishings.

In maths we will be focussing on problem solving –choosing the correct strategies to use for a range of contexts.

In science, you will be using keys to classify animals.

In history, we will be focussing on Crime and Punishment specifically within the Anglo-Saxon period.

In computing we will be looking at e-safety, discussing how to ensure that personal information is kept safe and secure.

In art you will be completing some more of the water pictures using watercolour.

For homework this weekend, you have the reading comprehensions to complete –either in the CGP booklet or on the sheets provided. If completing the booklet, the questions that you all need to answer are found on pages 6, 7 and 8. As I mentioned, if you then want to stretch yourself then you can also answer the questions on pages 9, 10 and 11 as well then you will have an alternative homework in a fortnight. The homework is due to be returned on Monday.

As far as I am aware, we are due for some nice weather for much of this weekend, so make sure you get out as much as you can before the autumn and winter weather begins to keep us indoors.

Have a good weekend and we will see you all next week.

Mr Gradwell
