Year 6 Blog - Friday 28th March 2025

Date: 26th Mar 2025 @ 9:47am

Welcome to the Year 6 weekly blog.

This week in Year 6

English

In English we have been revising adverbs and adjectives. We have also edited our reports on the history of the circus and written our own, independent, reports on Highwaymen. 

Maths 

This week, we have learned about the different parts of a circle. We have also revised how to reason with statistics and angles - we have worked hard to remember all of our angle facts!

RE

In RE, we have been learning how the stations of the cross are prayed all around the world. We have researched how the stations are prayed in Lourdes and Rome and made some amazing leaflets! 

Topic 

In Art, we continued our portrait topic and completed our layered portraits inspired by Mike Barrett. We had to layer paper and paint to create our backgrounds and assemble our final piece!  

For Science we were visited by UCLAN and completed an amazing Science workshop all about robots! 

We have also learned about Highwaymen in History. We researched all about Highway men and thought about whether they were heroic or villainous characters! 

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.

We will have our test on the 4/04/25

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.

SATS Revision: 

Today, the children have been given a login for SATs bootcamp. This is a fantastic website, which will really help with the children's SATs revision: https://www.yearsix.co.uk/sats-boot-camp/.
