Year 6 Home Practice - Friday 2nd July 2021

Date: 2nd Jul 2021 @ 3:56pm

Welcome to our Year 6 blog. This week we have continued to practice the Charlie and the Chocolate Factory production adding in movements, songs and a percussion team – it’s starting to come together; just one more week to wait! This Friday was a welcomed return of the PTFAs ‘Tough Kidder’. With amazing weather, the whole school had a great time, especially the Year 6s who managed to drench any nearby teachers with their water guns (see the pictures in our Year 6 gallery).

Our learning in Year 6 this week:

• In Maths, we have continued our learning of algebra by forming expressions using numbers and letters.
• In English (and PSHE), our Wonder novel has taken us to Jack’s perspective who has got himself into trouble with the headteacher. We then used the author’s clever writing style to act the scene.   
• In PE, we have had our final practice for Sports Day and our class have divided into Sports Captain groups to help run each year’s Sports Day.
• In Music, we rehearsed the play, adding in the songs and a percussion team to accompany the production.
• For Science/PSHE/RSE, we learnt what happens physically, socially and emotionally as we grow into young adults.

These are the days when you can change your reading book:

Monday – Dodgems

Tuesday – Roller Coasters

Wednesday – Big Dippers / The Waltzers

These are the tasks to be completed:

• Reading – With only a few weeks left, please keep reading for a minimum of 30 minutes every day. Try to change your book, just one more time before we finish.

• Sumdog challenges:

• Mix times tables (200 correct answers needed):
  • Keep practicing these! They will help you massively in Year 7.
