Literacy: We have been developing narratives to create, mystery, atmosphere and dread.
Maths: We have been converting improper and mixed fractions. We have then been applying these skills to a range of problems.to edit. Literacy: We have been working hard to understand what it means to give an impression based on what we have read in a text. We have also been working on prefixes and suffixes.
Maths: We have continued our work on equivalent fractions, decimals and percentages. We are able to use our knowledge of lowest common multiples, multiplication and division to convert and compare equivalents.. Although the majority of our history learning will take place in the Spring Term when we explore what life was like in Ancient Egypt we have covered lots this term too. We have learnt about the work of significant figures in history such as Ben Franklin who researched the link between electrical charge and lightning. We have also looked at historical sources such as translations of diaries and letters, artefacts from archaeological digs to piece together the events surrounding the eruption of Vesuvius in 79 CE and the impact on the people of Pompeii.
ear 6 are well into their autumn term unit on 'Computer Systems and Networks - Communication and Collaboration'. Pupils have learnt about IP addresses, domain names. We have also learnt about the way computers send information in data packets, We have explored shared working how people can work together when they aren't in the same location and pupils have worked together on projects and presentations through linking up online.
English: Instruction writing. Year 6 would love another school pet. Mrs Lawson has informed us the only way she would consider another pet was if we could suggest ideas for a pet and write a really excellent set of instructions. The instructions need to be easily understood for pupils and staff to ensure the new pet will be really well looked after. Absolutely no surprise that Year 6 stepped up to the challenge. Firstly, we applied our research skills to collect all the information we needed about our chosen pet. We identified key features of instruction writing. We revised our knowledge of imperative verbs, brackets for parenthesis, adverbials, conjunctions and prepositions. We learnt about how to use concise language and bullet points. Eventually, we wrote some excellent instructions. All that is left now is to proof read our work and present our instructions to Mrs Lawson.
Maths - Since returning from the half term break we have been consolidating our knowledge of place value of numbers with up to 9 digits. We have been developing further our written methods for multiplication and division and applying our skills to a wide range of reasoning challenges and problem solving In Spanish this half term we have been learning about regular in irregular verbs. We have learnt a range of pronouns and explored stems and endings. We are looking forward to starting our unit on school (En el colegio).   |
