Year 6,

This week in English you have debated over whether to eat a bowl of fruit, considered why an illustrator would use muted colours, and formed descriptive phrases inspired by our new book. IN maths, you problem solved using algebra and began working with decimal numbers into the thousandths. In science, you learnt Isaac Newton’s contribution to our knowledge of light, and investigated how different filters impact how we see colours. In PSHE, you considered how to reach your goals, the goals of others, and had a separate lesson considering how words and actions impact others. You have also had an opportunity to share your projects with the class – I was very impressed with the majority of these where you had clearly spent lots of time on them. There were a few which could have had longer spent on them, or should have been in on the deadline, considering you had four weeks to work on them. This week you also participated in the STEM KNEX challenge (photographs below). I was really impressed by your creativity when creating fairground rides, and well done to our winners.

Home learning pages:

Maths – pages 30-31

Grammar – pages14-15

Next week, you will work on our new book in English and continue working with decimals in maths. You will finish our light topic in science and will continue working on programming in computing. We have a few more unusual elements towards the end of the week. You will have a science workshop and World Book Day (including the author visit).
