Can you believe this week marks the mid-point of Year 6; we are halfway there! Have a lovely half term and we will see you back on Monday 24^th February.

 

English

In English, this week we composed our own quatrain poem inspired by ‘Skellig’ and William Blake’s work. We then wrote a balanced argument, exploring the question; ‘Which is more important, your heart or your brain?’. Year 6 also enjoyed a showing of the film version of ‘Skellig’.  

Maths

This week we continued our work on decimals and measures with a focus on finding the volume of cubes and cuboids before converting between miles and kilometres.

Thematic Curriculum

This week had a R.E focus as we explored the Buddhist faith and its beliefs and symbols.

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.

- Children have taken their Term 3 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.
