Date: 16th Sep 2020 @ 4:39pm

Well done to everyone for completing the first few weeks of year 6. You have all been exceptional in transitioning into the routines and getting used to the expectations of this new year.

This week in Year 6:

• We have improved our place value knowledge in Maths through comparing and rounding numbers to ten million.
• In English we are reading ‘Clockwork’ by Phillip Pullman where we have investigated how to develop the story through dialogue.
• In Geography, we have begun our new topic Mountains, searching atlases and maps to see where the highest mountains are.
• For RE, we have also begun our first topic of ‘Love’ and how God’s unconditional love can affect our lives.
• In PE, invasion games is our theme for the next 5 weeks, focusing on improving our throwing and catching skills and starting to develop advanced tactics to give an advantage for the attacking team.
• In Music, we have been enjoying our new instruments, the Boomwhackers.

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