In year 6 this week
It has been another fantastic week in class, with lots of hard work and some brilliant learning taking place!
In Maths, we have been focusing on long multiplication and short division. We have been really impressed with the children’s effort and perseverance, particularly when tackling some of the more challenging questions. Please continue to practise times tables at home, as having quick recall of these facts makes such a difference. Next week, we will be taking on the challenge of long division!
In English, the children have completed their independent writes, and what a fantastic job they have done! We have been so impressed with their creative ideas, ambitious vocabulary and the care they have taken over their final pieces. It has been lovely to see them putting everything they have learnt into their own writing.
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 skills, using evidence from the text to support their ideas and answers.
In History, we have been learning about evacuees during the Second World War, exploring what it would have been like for children to leave their homes and families and move to an unfamiliar place for safety.
In Computing, the children have put together some excellent presentations exploring how computers have changed over time. They worked hard to organise and present their information clearly and showed a great understanding of how technology has developed.
Well done to everyone for another brilliant week. We hope you all have a lovely weekend!
