Hi all,

As we come to the last couple (and a bit) of weeks of term, it is quite clear that some of you are getting into the Christmas spirit already now. It is always a special time of the year that I know we all look forward to in school. On that note though, whilst we will be starting to have lots of different festive things going on at various points over the next fortnight, it is important to stay focused and keep working hard until the very end of term, as the challenges of Year 6 are far from over!

 

Related to the above, as I sat here writing this week’s blog, I realised that I had completely forgotten to thank you and your parents last week for all of the generous donations that you made for the Christmas hamper on our mufti day -it will definitely be worth winning a hamper in the raffle draw with all of the wonderful things on offer, so thank you all very much for contributing.

 

In English next week, we will be focusing on the publishing aspects of writing, by putting the finishing touches to our pages about our own creatures before printing them out onto the ‘aged’ paper.

In maths, we will be continuing with our work on fractions by finding fractions of amounts, before then moving on to looking at calculating and converting metric measures.

In science you will be finding out what blood is made up of and the function of each part.

In geography we will be looking at the reasons for population changes.

In D & T, we will be continuing with our joining fabrics unit by practising creating hems and seams which we will use to create the finished products before the Christmas break.

Homework for this weekend is reading and you will have either been given the extension sheets to complete or it is pages 19, 20 and 21 of the CGP Reading Non-Fiction book if you have not completed these pages already. Once again, this is due to be returned on Monday so don’t leave it until Sunday night to complete it!

Have a good weekend.

Mr Gradwell
