Revision tips to help your child
In order to embed the learning from our new book, we used retrieval, recall, relay races!
We worked together to use what we had learnt about light in science to share important messages from our PSHE lessons through a shadow puppet show.
We enjoyed working together, developing communication skills, to demonstrate our computing and programming skills with the micro:bits to create messages.
When reading Macbeth, we paid particular attention to the detail of the three witches and used this to inform our recent artwork.
Read below to find out what we think about reading in Year 6.
We have been looking at the tale 'A Christmas Carol' by Charles Dickens. This inspired our latest piece of artwork, take a look.
It was wonderful to invite families in to share our learning and work together.
We really enjoyed planning and cooking a range of savoury dishes and sharing them with our friends.
We are really proud of everything we achieved on our residential adventure - we are stronger, more resilient, more independent, better communicators and ready to apply our new and improved skills to all areas of life.
We started anti-bullying week by wearing odd socks to celebrate uniqueness. Throughout the week we discussed the importance of celebrating difference and this allowed us to create classification key to differentiate between our peers. We finished the week by creating a paper character and then insulting it, we tried apologising and giving more compliments than we had insults but the damage was still visible.
To extend our history learning, we visited a local museum. Ask one of the Year Six children what they know about the Industrial Revolution and how it impacted our local area.
