23.1.25

 Year 6,

This week you have worked hard on your resilience in a range of learning. In maths you have worked with single and 2-step function machines, and begun forming expressions in algebra. In English, you have written formal letters to The Teller with a focus on revising relative clauses, and written descriptive paragraphs inspired by the banquet in Paradise Sands. In science, you investigated refraction and in art you considered your thoughts on a piece of artwork and then found ways of expressing yourselves through art using different materials. You also conducted your geography fieldwork and wrote a report advising on ways to improve the human impacts on the environment.

Next week, you will be forming equations and solving single and 2-step equations in maths. In English, you will be planning your own narratives inspired by Paradise Sands. In art you will continue to find different artistic ways of expressing yourselves, inspired by the techniques used by other artists. In science, you will investigate the colour spectrum and in RE you will consider the purpose and impact of art in religion.

Last week, I also set your half term project – please see below.

 

Half term project – Masters of Maths

This half term, your project is to create a game for your classmates to play which covers areas of maths that we have learnt about in class. This game could be a quiz (paper based), or could be a board game (or a more creative idea if you have one).

You can focus on one topic or a range of maths which we have covered, such as: place value, addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, shape, fractions, area, perimeter, coordinates, ratio, proportion, or decimals and percentages as you covered them in Year 5.  

Please ensure that you bring your game to school by Monday 9^th February as we will be playing them sometime that week.

 

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 (Competition for the South East is next week!)

Have a lovely weekend.
