Year 6 Friday 25th March 2022

Date: 25th Mar 2022 @ 2:31pm

Welcome to a special week for Year 6. This has been Tower Wood week, where our Year 6s have challenged themselves in many ways:

They should all be very proud of what they have achieved in their time there.

Also, Year 6’s learning this week:

In Maths, we learnt how to better use the formula of volume to solve problems. We then investigated how to present and interpret various bar charts.
In English, our novel Skellig delved into the main character, Mina, in more detail so we wrote our impression of her using the text as evidence. We then wrote in role about the time when she first met the mysterious Skellig.
In PE, we continued our unit of orienteering to read our unique map of the grounds to find different markers. We then played hide and seek with cones and mapping skills.
In Art, we completed our Mother’s Day project by using the skill of pointillism to show the colours of an iris. The end result was brilliant. Please visit the Year 6 gallery to see a few.

Home Practice all relates to this week’s learning. These are the tasks needed to be completed:

Reading – Continue to read every night for 30 minutes. It is important to keep reading, right up until the end for the year.

NO SPELLING LIST THIS WEEK DUE TO TOWER WOOD (We will be recapping our knowledge of the spellings taught so far in lessons).

Maths challenges:

Counting:

Number facts:

To help your maths even more, please continue to learn your numbers facts, 17 – 9 = 6, 15 – 8 = 7.
The best way to do this is to simply have someone in your home quiz you with questions like (13 – 5, 18 – 9, 16 – 8, 15 - 9, etc)
Then get them to change the place value of these digits (1.3 – 0.5, 1.8 – 0.9, 1.6 – 0.8, 1.5 – 0.9, etc)

Sumdog has not been set due to Tower Wood. Have a good rest (and a nice book to read). There will be overnight home practice every day next week.
