 Year 6,

Welcome back! It is 2025 and you have hit the ground running despite this week only being 4 days long. In maths, you have begun learning about ratio and proportion, and in English you have begun studying our new text ‘The Last Bear’. In computing, you revised copyright and how to check that access of different images, and in PSHE you considered what ‘normal’ is and protected characteristics that are covered by the Equality Act. In geography, you have looked at where different regions of the UK are, and have considered how climate change might impact different populations, and what changes can be made for this.

 

Your Home learning this week is:

Grammar – synonyms and antonyms -  pg58-59

Maths (blue book) – tables and charts - pg35-36

 

Next week in maths you will be continuing to work with ratio. In English, you will continue to work on our new text as well as completing a piece of writing relating to the end of our geography unit. In geography, you are going to conduct some fieldwork in our local area and in science you will begin the new topic relating to light.

This half term's coverage.

In English, we will be writing with inspiration form 'The Last Bear’. This will include a character profile, figurative descriptions, dialogue, monologue, logbook entry, and scientific report.

 

In maths, we will be working on ratio and proportion, algebra and decimal numbers.

In science, we will be studying light; how it works and how we see. 

 

In our foundation subjects, we will be completing our geography topic on population, and beginning our history topic on The Shang Dynasty.

In computing, we will be working on programming.  

In art, we will be using The Shang Dynasty as inspiration for design and working with different materials. 

In PSHE, we will be finishing our topic of Celebrating Differences and moving onto Dreams and Goals.
