In year 6 this week
It has been another great week in class, and we continue to be impressed with the children’s enthusiasm and positive attitudes towards their learning!
In Maths, the children have been working hard to secure their understanding of place value. We have been focusing particularly on rounding and negative numbers, so please keep practising these skills at home where possible. Next week, we are looking forward to beginning our new unit on addition, subtraction, multiplication and division.
In English, we have seen some fantastic writing this week! We have been particularly impressed by the children’s creativity and the unique ideas they have brought to their work. It has been wonderful to see their confidence growing as writers.
In Guided Reading, we are continuing to enjoy When the Sky Falls by Phil Earle. The children are becoming increasingly engaged in the story and are continuing to develop their reading and VIPERS skills as we learn more about the characters.
In Science, we had great fun investigating the different types of blood vessels and learning about how they help to move blood around the body. The children really enjoyed the practical experiment and showed lots of curiosity when exploring how our circulatory system works.
We have also been enjoying our History learning. This week, we listened to oral histories from soldiers who served in the RAF, giving us an insight into their experiences. The children will use what they have learnt to help them write their own diary entries in role, and we are looking forward to seeing how they bring these experiences to life in their writing.
Well done to everyone for another fantastic week of hard work. Have a lovely weekend!
