In year 6 this week
With just one week to go until half term, it has been another busy and productive week in class! The children continue to impress us with their hard work, enthusiasm and positive attitudes towards learning.
In Maths, we have now completed our unit on addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. The children have worked incredibly hard throughout this topic, showing great resilience and determination when tackling some challenging calculations. Next, we will be moving on to fractions. Please continue to practise times tables at home, as having quick recall of these facts really does make a difference!
In English, we have continued exploring Shackleton's Journey by William Grill, learning more about Ernest Shackleton, his crew and their incredible expedition. The children have been gathering ideas and developing their vocabulary in preparation for writing a letter to Shackleton, persuading him to recruit them as a member of his expedition. We are looking forward to seeing the creative and convincing arguments they come up with!
In Guided Reading, we are continuing to enjoy When the Sky Falls by Phil Earle. The children remain engaged with the story and are continuing to develop their VIPERS reading skills, making thoughtful inferences, exploring the characters and using evidence from the text to support their answers.
In Computing, the children have been busy creating their own audio adverts to promote their computers of the future. I have been really impressed with their imaginative ideas and the fantastic expression and enthusiasm they have used to bring their adverts to life!
In History, we have been exploring how women's roles changed during the Second World War, learning about the important contributions women made to the war effort. The children have shown great interest in this topic, and we are looking forward to making links to our learning during our upcoming visit to the Imperial War Museum.
Next week, we are also looking forward to celebrating Black History Month, with a range of exciting writing and topic activities planned. Alongside our museum trip, it is shaping up to be a fantastic final week of the half term!
Just one more week to go till half term!
