Year 6 Blog - Friday 13th February 2026

Date: 11th Feb 2026 @ 10:59am

Welcome to the Year 6 weekly blog.

The children have all received a special certificate this week for their hard work at Robin Wood - well done Year 6! 

This week in Year 6

English

In English we have shared the book 'Inside the Villains' together. We have worked hard to make our own page for the book about Macbeth, using all of our learning from our Shakespeare topic. 

Maths 

This week, we have been learning about the four operations. We have revised how to divide a four digit number by a two digit number, explored how to find prime numbers and how to choose an appropriate strategy for a calculation. 

RE

In RE, we have continued to learn about the miracles that Jesus performed in John's gospel. We learned about how Jesus healed a blind man and raised Lazarus from the dead. 

Topic 

For Safer Internet Day 2026, we thought about when it could be appropriate or not appropriate to use AI. We had a class quiz to test our knowledge! 

In PE we completed counter balances in pairs and groups. 

Mrs Wilson helped us complete our first reflection for Faith in Action this week. 

Please complete the following tasks by the first Monday back: 

Reading - Use your home reading to read every night for 30 minutes. You also have a reading diary that must be used for the title of the book and any challenges chosen. 

Books may be changed on Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday. 

Spelling - 

Spellings this week are from the Y5/Y6 and the Y3/Y4 statutory spellings.

We will have our test on the 27/02/26. 

It is useful to write the words down on the spelling sheet, but you could also ask someone to call the words out and spell them out loud. Other ideas include, breaking the words up and writing them down in different colours (accommodate). You could look for words within words (accompany) or think of your own ways to remember the word, for example, spell it aloud using a mnemonic or tune.

SATS Revision:
