English

In English this week, Year 6 have been working hard to write a balanced argument, questioning whether the German soldier, whose plane crashed in our text, should be saved.  

Next week, we will work on the editing and improving process before publishing this piece.

Maths

This week we have learnt all about ration and proportion; the children have described relationships using ratio language and the ratio symbol.

Next week, we will move on to applying our understanding of ratio and proportion to a range of problems.

Thematic Curriculum

This week, we started by learning about the 1940 raid which saw Ramsgate receive more than 500 bombs in under 5 minutes. We looked at footage of the aftermath and plotted locations on maps. Each class then ventured to Ramsgate Tunnels to experience the network of tunnels which saved the lives of so many on that day.

 

 

 

Next week we will turn our attention to R.E and enjoy an Easter Uncracked workshop.

 

Homework

- 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.

- Mathletics homework has also been set for the children to complete by next Friday.
