A very busy week, well done for working so hard Year 6.
Home Practice
Reading
Please read for up to 30 minutes every night, this will improve the speed at which you read and your understanding of the text. If you come across any new words that you don’t understand, ask an adult or look it up in the dictionary. Building up your vocabulary knowledge is really beneficial.

Reminders
Thursday 21st March Family Bingo 6.30 - 8.00pm (tickets available from the office).
In English, we worked on direct speech (inverted commas) and indirect speech (reported speech) linked to what the characters in our book might have said. Also, the children wrote some fantastic ideas for a sequel story, using modal verbs and adverbs of possibility.
In Maths, we were dividing decimal and large whole numbers using both mental and written methods (chunking).
The Japanese students delivered a fantastic lesson all about toys in Japan on Thursday afternoon. Year 6 had great fun playing with the toys and they learnt a few Japanese words too!
Last Freddy Fit session for Year 6, we had a great time and thoroughly enjoyed the loud music and high energy lesson.
In RE, we discussed and wrote about the qualities of good friendships and things that might spoil those friendships with a focus on class unity.
Year 6 Team.
