This week in Year 6

This week has been a busy week. We have used the new ICT suite to code using Scratch, we continue to look at Here We Are by Oliver Jeffers as our key for English and in maths we have been looking as translations and reflection of shapes on coordinate grids and are now moving onto place value up to 10,000,000 ! We are using equipment to support our learning.

Look out for our overview of this term's learning which is going home Friday 18th September.

Term 6 - Writing

In literacy lessons, we have been learning about part of S. F. Said's book, 'Phoenix'. We read an edited version of the first chapter, and over the next few weeks, created our own action stories based on that.

Term 6 - Language Skills

Year 6 have been practising their -ant, -ance, -ancy and -ent, -ence and -ency spellings recently. One fun way we found to practise was by playing a matching game. Children had to turn over a word card and a definition card and see if they matched. If they did, the children had to try to spell the word without looking at the card. If they were correct, they kept the pair of cards. The winner was the player with the most pairs!

Term 6 - Music Week

For Music Week, we listened to 'The Carnival of the Animals'. Year 6 focused on 'The Aviary'. After discussing the piece of music, we looked at images of birds and then collaborated as a table to create our own bold, beautiful birds. Don't they look great?
