St Oswald's Catholic Primary SchoolYear 6 Blog - Friday 17th January
Date: 16th Jan 2025 @ 10:45am
Welcome to the Year 6 weekly blog.
This week in Year 6
English
In English we have continued with our learning on Macbeth. We have written a letter in role as Lady Macbeth and as the ghost of King Duncan! The children all worked hard to use Shakespearian vocabulary and get into role as each character.
Maths
This week, we have learned all about statistics. We have worked hard to calculate the value of different segments on a pie chart and reason with our answers.
RE
In RE, we have continued learning about the miracles that Jesus performed. We appraised different artworks of the healing at the pool and created a miracle mind map all about the feeding of the 5000.
Topic
In Computing, we investigated what makes a good website in preparation for creating our own web pages.
In Science, we learned all about how our hearts work and found out what the different parts of the heart are called.
For Art, we started our new topic all about colour. We created some beautiful responses to our focus artist's work in our sketchbooks!
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.
Spelling -
Spellings this week are from the Y5/Y6 and the Y3/Y4 statutory spellings.
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.
