Year 6,
How have we already entered October? In maths, you
have studied factors, square and cube numbers, and multiplication for four by two-digit
numbers. In English, you have written some beautiful letters in the role of
Siddhartha Gautama writing to his son. Science this week has involved some
rather creative and terrifying new creatures and their classification. You also
did an amazing job at the Harvest Festival.
Next week will also be busy.
In maths and English next week, we will be carrying
out some assessments during the week in order to identify any areas of your
learning in grammar, reading, arithmetic and mathematical reasoning to focus on
for the rest of the term.
In computing, you will continue your work on networks and addresses.
In RE, you will study the 8-fold path in Buddhism.
History will involve the study of medieval crime and
punishment.
In art, you will apply what you have learnt so far for the
sketching of facial features, and will begin creating self-portraits.
Your homework this weekend is found on pages 16-17 in maths
and 10-11 in English.
All About Me project.
This project is to be completed over the next few weeks and
the focus will be on presenting yourself to the world how you really want everyone
to see you. There are many different ways that you may present this –as a
poster and/or shoebox, or through a self-portrait but the choice really is
yours. 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 length of time, 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 really look forward to what you
all produce at the end of it. The deadline for completion will be Monday 21st October,
when you will be presenting your completed projects to the class.
Reminders
Monday is Sharing Assembly for those of you participating.
You have PE
on Tuesday, Thursday and Friday so make sure you have your kits in on these
days.
You should be:
- Reading 5 times a week and completing a reading journal activity once a week
- Practising spellings each week between the pre-test and test; writing spellings at least 5 times and writing them into sentences in your Home Learning Journal (set on Monday and completed for Friday)
- Completing the piece of English and piece of Maths set each week (set on Wednesday and completed for Monday)
- Practising maths on Sumdog

the half termly project
Considering how tired you have been saying you are, please have a restful and enjoyable weekend and we will see you all next week.
Mrs Cresswell 😊
