 Year 6,

Here we are at Friday again already –blink and you will have missed it! This week you have written descriptive paragraphs about what was beyond the wall for Varjak Paw in English. In maths, you have worked with ever larger numbers and looked at negative numbers. Science this week was all about Carl Linnaeus and his system of classification, and in art you completed an artist study on David Hockney.

In English next week, we will be writing a letter based on our RE learning on Siddhartha Gautama.

In maths we will be working with negative numbers, factors and multiples, and divisibility rules.

In science, you will be considering the characteristics of animals.

In history, we will be focussing on Crime and Punishment specifically within the Roman period.

In computing we will be looking the importance of networks.

In art you will begin developing techniques that could be used for self-portrait pictures.

All About Me project.

This project is to be completed over the next few weeks and the focus will be on presenting yourself to the world how you really want everyone to see you. There are many different ways that you may present this –as a poster and/or shoebox, or through a self-portrait but the choice really is yours. This project is an opportunity to share YOU and what makes you tick with your friends, so the more effort you put in, the better the final outcome will be and the more you will get out of this process. Just remember though, I will be disappointed if, after this length of time, you turn up with just a few items that you have grabbed together at the last minute or even just a scribbled note of paper written the night before the deadline. Enjoy the freedom that you have with this though and I really look forward to what you all produce at the end of it. The deadline for completion will be Monday 21^st October, when you will be presenting your completed projects to the class.
