24.1.25 including half term project

 Year 6,

It has been yet another busy week. In maths, you have problem solved using ratio and proportion, and worked with one and two step function machines. In English, you have written an interaction between April and Bear, considering how Bear communicates. On Wednesday, you conducted fieldwork with a focus of human impact on the local environment, and over the last two days you have typed up reports on your findings.

 Home learning pages this week are:

Grammar – pg 56-57

Maths (blue book) – pg 23-24

 

Next week, in maths you will begin working on algebra. In English, you will continue to work on writing inspired by The Last Bear. You will have a stand-alone art lesson inspired by healthy eating, and you will focus on Oracle Bones of the Shang Dynasty in history.

PLEASE BRING IN A CEREAL BOX ON MONDAY OR TUESDAY FOR YOUR SCIENCE ON TUESDAY AFTERNOON. 

Below is the half term project we discussed earlier. As I explained, I have given you the half term to finish it, but if you complete it before and have a rest over half term, that would be even better!

 

Half Term project – Due 24.2.25 – Super Sculptors

This half term I would like you to focus your project on a particular sculptor. These are artists who create sculptures. The sculptor you study could be a classic or modern sculptor. Your learning outcome should include a presentation section and a creative section. As some of you have asked, yes you could study a piece of architecture and the architect who designed it.

The presentation part could be Word processed or a handwritten project. It must give information on the sculptor that has inspired you and how you have tailored their work to create your piece. Please ensure that this is your own work and not copied directly from somewhere else (remember our learning on copywrite). This must be able to be shared offline, as you will be developing your public speaking skill by presenting to a small group about your sculptor and your piece.

The creative part could be a drawing, painting, model or sculpture but must be inspired by the sculptor you have researched.

This should demonstrate the research you have put in over the weeks before the deadline of Monday 24th February, when you will share your learning with the class. 

Reminders

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 10 of them into sentences (ensure that these are high quality and make sense) 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.
