Year 6 Blog 29th November 2024

Date: 27th Nov 2024 @ 3:30pm

Welcome to the Year 6 weekly blog!

This week we spoke to the children about using technology and the internet safely. We discussed how to use internet devices safely in school and at home and signed our revised safer use agreement which you can find below. The children signed this to say they read and understood the content. 

This week in Year 6

English

In English we have been continuing our learning all about the letters that soldiers used to send home in WW1. We have written a letter in role to our brother, who we wanted to share the reality of the trenches with. 

Maths 

This week, we have started our new unit on Algebra! We have learned how to calculate the value of a shape by comparing similarities and differences and learned how to understand and use algebraic convention. 

RE

In RE, we have thought about how Mary is an important lady for Christians. We have also thought about the significant women in our own lives and written letters to them to thank them for their guidance and support. 

Topic 

In My Happy Mind, we have continued to learn all about our brains. We have learned more about how to develop healthy habits, look after our minds and be our very best selves!

In Science, we learned how we need light to see. We created some amazing information texts about how light reflects from objects into our eyes and all about how our eyes work too!

In Computing, we continued our work on Tinkercad and learned how to create a name badge by combining and rotating 3D objects in the workspace. 

Home practice

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.

Please practise these spellings this week. The rule to practise is adding suffixes beginning with vowel letters to words ending in –fer.

All spellings are on Sumdog to practise for our test on Friday.
