Hi Year 6,

It seems like it was only yesterday that I was writing my blog to say how I would see some of you at the firework display and now here I am a week later sitting down to write something similar again. I’m pleased to say once again that there has been some good learning that has taken place in the class though and I look forward to seeing this continue next week.

As part of Anti-Bullying week next week, Monday will see us wearing odd socks and there will be a number of lessons and activities throughout the week related to this. On Friday, we then have our mufti day for Children in Need with the theme this year being ‘Spotacular’, meaning that we all need to wear something spotty as we donate at least a pound each to the very worthy cause.

In English next week, we will continue with our unit of work based on the text, ‘Arthur Spiderwick’s Field Guide to the Fantastical World Around You’, by looking at a range of clause structures and active and passive voice which are both used throughout the book.

In maths we will be comparing and ordering, and adding and subtracting, fractions.

In science, you will be starting a new topic looking at and learning the parts of the circulatory system. You will also be writing up the conclusion of your mould experiment.

Your homework for this week is in two parts. The first is a piece of maths which is due to be returned on Monday. You can work and answer directly on the sheets. The second piece is the feelings/emotions sheet on which you will need to list your emotions twice a day between now and next Friday.

Have a good weekend.

Mr Gradwell
