31.1.25

 Year 6,

What a week! This week, in maths, you were introduced to working with algebra – something you have worked really well with. In English, you have continued to work on The Last Bear and produced writing inspired by April’s summer experiences. In art, you have produced beautiful healthy food inspired artwork, and in history, you have studied the Oracle bones of the Shang Dynasty. You also created periscopes in science.

Next week, you will have the chance to work on some more SATs papers (I know most of you saw them being printed). You will also have a chance to work on some computing, PSHE and will have Number Day to mark on Friday.

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

 

I apologise for being absent the last couple of days but look forward to seeing you next week. Have a lovely weekend. 

Mrs Cresswell 😊
