Welcome to Year 6 everyone!

In Maths, we have begun our place value unit of numbers up to 1 million and we have looked larger numbers using place value charts and counters as well as part-part whole models. Next week, we will be comparing and ordering numbers to 1 million and reviewing our knowledge of negative numbers.

In English, we have written a newspaper report based on The Secrets of a Sun King.. some mysterious burnt feet were found in a London address and it was our job as investigators to fill in the gaps! We looked at a newspaper toolkit - formal language, sentence starters and reported and direct speech.

In Science, we have introduced our new topic Evolution and Adaptation.

'As part of our Science topic 'Adaptation and Evolution', we will be looking at inheritance. We are going to be looking at inherited characteristics and to recognise that living things produce offspring of the same kind, but normally offspring vary and are not identical to their parents.

If you have a photo of your child's mum and dad and would be happy to bring it in for our Science lesson then this would be great- your child will bring them home once we have covered this part of the topic. If you do not have a hard copy, then please email your pictures to the office if you are happy to do so. This is optional as your child will have access to other options in class. If you are happy for your child to bring in some photos, please could we have them by Friday 27^th September 2024.'

PE in on Monday and Fridays- please have your PE in on a Monday and keep it in during the week to take home on Friday in case things change for that week!

Have a lovely weekend,

Mrs Watkins

In spelling we have been working our way through the statutory Year 5 & 6 spelling words. These are very tricky but we like to use Sir Linkalot to help us remember them. You may want to use this at home to help you. The complete list of Year 5 and 6 words can be found here.
