Year 6,

You have hit the ground running this week! In maths you have begun working on decimals and in English you have begun working on writing instructions to turn a teacher into something – these are incredibly creative though a little concerning at times. In history you created your oracle bones out of clay and in PSHE you considered how to be an agony aunt for someone in relation to their health and wellbeing. On Tuesday you were lucky enough to visited by an athlete in relation to your fundraising too.

Next week will be just as busy. You will be continuing with decimals in maths. In English, you will finish your instructions and will begin our new book and writing focus. You will continue programming in computing and continue to look at health in PSHE.

I have shared this half term's project with you already as it is a short half term and it is a lovely way to introduce yourself to you teacher for after Easter. Please see the instructions below, which are also in your Home Learning Journal. 

Half term project - All About Me 

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 23^rd March, when you will be presenting your completed projects to 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.
