 Year 6,

This week you have been working on fractions in maths – it was great to see your confidence in multiplying and dividing fractions. In English, you have planned and written narrative poems inspired by ‘The Promise’. In science, you learnt about blood vessels and the composition of blood, and in geography you began our new topic all about how population can change over time by studying the global changes in population. In computing, you considered the features of a webpage and began designing one of your own.

Next week will be just as busy. In maths, you will be working on dividing fractions, solving problems with them and finding fractions of amounts. In English, you will begin writing a narrative based on your plans. In science, you will look at heart rate and how it can change based on activity, and in RE you will be looking at the foundations of Judaism.

Half Term project– 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 15^th December, when you will share your learning with the class. 

 

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.
