Date: 5th Dec 2024 @ 7:57am
Welcome to the Year 6 weekly blog!
This week in Year 6
English
In English we have started a new novel, 'A Christmas Carol' by Charles Dickens. We have explored the characters in the story this week and we have worked hard to create a character description of Scrooge and of Marley's ghost!
Maths
This week, we have continued with our learning on Algebra. We have learned how to find the rule for a linear sequence and to solve an expression by finding the value of an unknown.
RE
In RE, we have learned about the important women from the old Testament. We have worked hard to create a book all about these women by researching them.
Topic
In DT, we have been practising different types of stitching. We have used a running stitch, overstitch and blanket stitch!
In Computing, we continued our work on Tinkercad and created a pen pot. We had to be resilient to make sure that the measurements would fit a pencil in!
We have also been working hard in our Literacy Kicks to learn how to write as a Sports Journalist.
Please complete the following tasks by Wednesday:
Reading - Use your home reading to read every night for 30 minutes. You also have a reading diary that must be used for the title of the book and any challenges chosen.
Books may be changed on Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday.
This week, the children need to practise the Y5 and Y6 spelling list. A copy of this spelling list can be found at the end of the blog.
All spellings are on Sumdog to practise for our test next week.
