St Oswald's Catholic Primary SchoolYear 6 Blog - Friday 14th February 2025
Date: 13th Feb 2025 @ 9:22am
Welcome to the Year 6 weekly blog.
The children have all received a special certificate this week for their hard work at Robin Wood - well done Year 6!
This week in Year 6
English
In English we have shared the book 'Inside the Villains' together. We have worked hard to make our own page for the book about Macbeth, using all of our learning from our Shakespeare topic.
Maths
This week, we have been learning about the four operations. We have learned how to choose an appropriate strategy for a calculation and also how to multiply decimals by whole numbers.
RE
In RE, we have continued to learn about the seven sacraments. We have thought carefully about why some sacraments are celebrated more frequently than others. We have also discussed how the seven signs in John's gospel have a literal and spiritual meaning.
Topic
We learned about the story of Saint Valentine and created our own books to retell the story in our own words.
In Science, we learned about how to keep our bodies healthy. We created a quiz to test our knowlege of how to keep healthy!
Please complete the following tasks by the first Monday back:
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.
Spelling -
Spellings this week are from the Y5/Y6 and the Y3/Y4 statutory spellings.
We will have our test on the 28/02/25.
It is useful to write the words down on the spelling sheet, but you could also ask someone to call the words out and spell them out loud. Other ideas include, breaking the words up and writing them down in different colours (accommodate). You could look for words within words (accompany) or think of your own ways to remember the word, for example, spell it aloud using a mnemonic or tune.
