A super week, well done Year 6.

Home Practice

Reading

Please read for up to 30 minutes every night, this will improve the speed at which you read and your understanding of the text. If you come across any new words that you don’t understand, ask an adult or look it up in the dictionary. Building up your vocabulary knowledge is really beneficial.

Spelling

Please practise these spellings (Y5/6 Word List) for your test on Friday. A sheet will go home every Thursday/Friday with the spelling list on. 

Spellings (08.03.24 – 15.03.24):

persuade                programme

Freddy Fit will be in school on Wednesday 13th March, please remember those PE kits!

Thursday 21st March Family Bingo 6.30 - 8.00pm (tickets available from the office).

In English, we continued reading Tuesday by David Weisner. We wrote excellent playscripts, remembering to use all the key features and related it to the story. In addition, we planned and wrote police reports based on what happened on Tuesday, using reported speech and formal language.

We all looked fabulous in our World Book Day costumes, we completed some book related wordsearches and crosswords.

In Maths, we have been working on translations and reflections. We have done very well with this, using the coordinates to help translate shapes and reflecting shapes through both the x and y axes.

Fr Michael came into school to do confession with Y6 on Thursday.

In Science, we learnt how we see things and labelled parts of the eye. 

In Music, we revised 'Twinkle Twinkle' on the recorders and began to learn 'Old McDonald had a farm' with a new note F#.

In Art, we had a lovely afternoon making Mother's Day cards.

In French, we spoke about the clothes we wear and what other people wear.
