 Year 6,

You have been busy this week with a whole range of activities. In English, you have been writing your narratives – they are fantastic so far. In maths,  you have worked with units of measure, including both metric and imperial measures. In science, you considered the impacts of smoking, vaping and alcohol on our bodies, and in geography you studied the impact of migration on populations, also relating this to your learning on refugees in PSHE. Today, phew, what a day…. You practised for the carol concert in church, had Christmas Jumper Day, ate Christmas Dinner, served the staff (you did an amazing job), and watched a movie in the afternoon.

This week your home learning pages are:

-        Maths – pg19-20

-        Grammar - pg 52-53

 

Next week is your final week of term and our final week on 2024 together! In maths, you will finish your work on units of measure, and then move onto more Christmassy maths. In English, you will finish your stories, edit them, write them up in best, and hopefully have a chance to share them or your poems with Year 4 (you will not be forced to). We will also attempt to find time to continue your websites in computing and work on populations in geography. You will also have a chance to watch the KS1 show, have Sharing Assembly, KS2 Christmas party, your Carol Concert, and potentially complete some Christmas Spanish. Your project is due on Monday, and next week you will also have a chance to share these with each other.

 

  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), 1^st or 3^rd 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 16^th December 2024 where you will have a chance to enjoy each other’s stories in small groups.
