Year 6,
What a week! Sunshine, snow, and lot of learning in between.
In English, you have planned a narrative in the style of ‘The Promise’, and annotated
it with figurative language for your narrative poem. In maths, you have
multiplied fractions, and in science you found out about the different parts of
blood and different blood vessels. We also had a fascinating STEM talk all
about working as an engineer with supercars – some of which were worth
£1million! In geography, you considered global population changes and why this
might be, and in computing you worked together using a collaborative workspace.
We also finished reading Varjak Paw, and you shared the final few ‘All About Me’ projects – well done for all of
these!
This week your home learning pages are:
- Maths
(dependant on book type) – 32-33 or 33-34 – it should include a number grid and
a group of L shapes.
- Grammar
– 34 and 35
Next week, you will be dividing fractions and writing your narrative poems. In science, you will investigate the impact of exercise on the heart, and in RE you will learn about one of the Buddhist festivals. You will also have Friendship Groups on Monday and School Council on Friday.
Half term project - Amazing Authors!
This half term’s task requires you to become an amazing author. You are
able to free-write on a topic of your choosing or using the picture that I have
provided. Your writing can be typed or handwritten but must be your work. You
can write fiction or non-fiction (e.g. a biography on your favourite
footballer), 1st or 3rd person, past or present
tense – depending on what you prefer. This is all about you writing in a style
that you like!
I do however, have some expectations: minimum 500 words, maximum 3 pages,
writing that has been edited in the same way that we do in class – spellings,
varied sentences, vocabulary choice and I’ll say it again - it must be your own
work!
Your project is due on Monday 16th December 2024 where
you will have a chance to enjoy each other’s stories in small groups.
Reminders
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
Have a lovely weekend.
Mrs Cresswell 😊
