Year 6 Spelling and Homework - Oct 2024

There have been many exciting learning activities that our Year 6 pupils have engaged in over the past month.

 

We have tackled the concept of long division, and we are pleased to report that the children have grasped this skill with impressive enthusiasm and understanding! It is gratifying to witness their confidence grow as they tackle increasingly challenging mathematical problems.

 

In our literacy sessions, the children have been busy crafting setting descriptions, character descriptions, and diary entries. Our reading of "The Nowhere Emporium" continues to be an engaging experience, and the children are thoroughly enjoying the journey through this captivating narrative.

 

In Science, our focus has been on living things and their habitats.

 

This topic has provided ample opportunity for discussion and exploration. Additionally, our studies in Topic have centred around the Jurassic Coast, culminating in an enjoyable workshop led by a fossil expert, which greatly enriched the children's understanding of this fascinating subject.

We celebrated National Poetry Day by writing our own poems inspired by the creative theme involving marigolds (the gloves not the flowers)! This activity not only nurtured their poetic skills but also encouraged them to think imaginatively!

 

Each Year 6 class has also had the opportunity to collaborate and prepare for their class assembly, which has fostered teamwork and confidence in presentation skills. The children were eager to showcase their hard work to you.

 

As we look ahead to the festive season, we are filled with anticipation for the lead-up to Christmas and the possibility of a certain little elf making an appearance in our Year 6 classrooms!

This weeks homework is a quiz to consolidate what the children have been learning about in their topics at school. Quizzes are due in on the 14th October. They do not necessarily need to be printed, but the answers do need to be written down and handed in to the teachers.

Our Wonderful Maths Ambassador, Eden, announced our new maths home learning challenges this morning in assembly. Eden would like entries back to her by Friday 18th October.

Year 6 have had great fun creating and performing poetry as part of National Poetry Day. We wrote our own poem about a rubber glove!

This week, our Year 6 children all enjoyed a trip to Kimmeridge where they took part in fossil workshops at The Etches Collection Museum and did some fossil hunting on the beach. One group even got to see the amazing Steve Etches in the workshop!
