Learning Lens - W/C 6th October 2025
Year 6 have had a great week - here's what they've been up to:
In English this week, we have continued reading our class text - Secrets of a Sun King. We have been focusing on descriptive writing and have written the beginning and middle of a setting description from the viewpoint of an archaeologist. We have also focused our attention on editing this week, using our purple pens to edit and improve our writing collaboratively with our peers.
In Maths, we have continued learning about the four operations. We learnt about long division. Although this was tricky, year 6 worked super hard this week and i'm very proud of them. We ended the week by learning how to choose the right strategy or method to efficiently and accurately solve division problems.
In Science, we were looking at how plants have adapted to survive in our local area. We went out into our green areas of the playground to explore plants and what features they have inherited in order to compete for sunlight, water and pollinators.
We also continued our learning on Ancient Civilisations by learning about what happened after the death of a Pharaoh. We learnt about Ancient Egyptian gods and the process of mummification. All things that were important in order for a Pharaoh to be allowed into the enernal afterlife.
In PSHE, we learnt more about assertiveness and what it means to be assertive. We worked collaboratively to create posters to show the important behaviours needed to be assertive (kind, firm, courageous etc).
On Tuesday, we had French and computing with Mrs Housden. In French, we finished off our power points about us and presented them to the class. In computing, we learnt about spreadsheets - creating a table of information about a class of children.
In RE, we designed and began to put together our class cross - inspired by the may ideas we had in class.
On Monday, we went to Bore Place. This time, as year 6's, we learnt about processed food. We learnt how to be more sustainable with our food choices and made our own flapjacks using pumpkin puree. 4 very lovely children made some for the adults too, which were delicious!
*Year 6 will also be bringing home their handwriting homework for this week. Please remember to complete 9 sentences in books ready for Monday. This week's sentences are linked to our learning on descriptive writing:
-
As we brushed away the final grains of sand, a golden doorway slowly emerged from the shadows of the tomb.
-
Although the air was thick with dust and mystery, the other explorers and I stepped cautiously into the ancient chamber.
-
The tomb, which had been hidden beneath the desert for thousands of years, shimmered with secrets waiting to be uncovered.
Here's to next week,
Mr Johnson and Mrs Trigg
