English

In English this week, Year 6 created a setting description of the lighthouse from our text. They focused on using a range of sentence openers and developing cohesion throughout their text.

Next week, we will write and perform a debate, questioning whether the German soldier, whose plane crashed in Budmouth Point, should be saved.  

Maths

This week we have started our unit on Statistics and explore both line graphs and pie charts. Next week, we will move on to solving problems using ratio and proportion.

Thematic Curriculum

This week, we have explored life on the Home Front; the children have made paper models of Anderson shelters and explored the role of women during WWII.

 

 

 

Next week we will visit Ramsgate Tunnels and explore the impact of WWII on our locality.

 

Homework

- This term’s Thematic Curriculum grid is attached below.

- Please read with your child at least 3 times a week.

- Children should be playing TTRS at least 3 times a week to build their confidence and fluency with times table knowledge.

- Most children have now taken their Term 4 AR Star Reader assessment and their ZPD can be found on their AR account. They will also receive a sticker next week to help them identify the correct books for their reading level. Once your child has read their book, they will need to complete a quiz on it before getting a new one. These quizzes can be done either in school or at home on Accelerated Reader using the log-in codes found in their reading records.
