4.10.24

 Year 6,

How have we already entered October? In maths, you have studied factors, square and cube numbers, and multiplication for four by two-digit numbers. In English, you have written some beautiful letters in the role of Siddhartha Gautama writing to his son. Science this week has involved some rather creative and terrifying new creatures and their classification. You also did an amazing job at the Harvest Festival.

Next week will also be busy.

In maths and English next week, we will be carrying out some assessments during the week in order to identify any areas of your learning in grammar, reading, arithmetic and mathematical reasoning to focus on for the rest of the term.

In computing, you will continue your work on networks and addresses.

In RE, you will study the 8-fold path in Buddhism.

History will involve the study of medieval crime and punishment.

In art, you will apply what you have learnt so far for the sketching of facial features, and will begin creating self-portraits.

 

Your homework this weekend is found on pages 16-17 in maths and 10-11 in English.

 

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 21st October, when you will be presenting your completed projects to the class.
