In year 6 this week
With just two weeks left until half term, it has been another busy and productive week in class!
In Maths, we have been focusing on division, particularly tackling the challenge of long division. I have been very impressed with the children's resilience and perseverance when working through some tricky calculations. They have shown great determination, even when faced with more challenging questions. Please keep practising times tables and division skills at home, as this really does make a difference!
In English, we have started our exciting new text, Shackleton's Journey by William Grill. The children have been exploring new vocabulary and learning about Ernest Shackleton, his crew and the purpose of their expedition. We are looking forward to finding out more about their incredible journey and using this as inspiration for our writing.
In Guided Reading, we are continuing with When the Sky Falls by Phil Earle. The children remain engaged with the story and are continuing to develop their VIPERS reading skills, thinking carefully about the characters, making inferences and using evidence from the text to support their answers.
In History, the children have been writing letters in role as evacuees during the Second World War. We have seen some wonderful writing, with the children drawing on their historical knowledge to imagine the thoughts, feelings and experiences of those who were evacuated. We are also very much looking forward to our upcoming trip to the Imperial War Museum in a couple of weeks, where we will have the opportunity to bring even more of our learning to life!
In Science, we have been busy planning our own experiments to investigate heart rate. The children have been thinking carefully about what they would like to test and how to make their investigations fair and reliable. We are looking forward to putting their plans to the test next week!
Well done to everyone for another fantastic week of learning. With just two weeks to go until half term, let's keep up the brilliant effort! We hope you all have a lovely weekend and look forward to another great week ahead!
