Welcome to the Year 6 weekly blog.
Thank you to everyone who was able to attend our SATs meeting on Monday. The slides and key facts for SATs are at the end of the blog.
This week in Year 6
English
In English we have continued with our learning on Macbeth. We have written a letter in role as Lady Macbeth and as the ghost of King Duncan! The children all worked hard to use Shakespearian vocabulary and get into role as each character.
Maths
This week, we have learned all about negative numbers. We have worked hard to solve problems involving negative numbers in context, such as calculating the difference between two temperatures. We have also begun our new unit all about co-ordinates, learning how to plot points and shapes in all four quadrants.
RE
In RE, we have learned all about how the seven sacraments are celebrated in parish life. We have also learned about the differences between the four gospels.
Topic
In PE, we have started our gymnastics topic and have learned how to create a counter-tension balance and counter balances.
In Science, we have learned all about the circulatory system and how it works.
For Art, we started our new topic all about colour. We created some beautiful responses to our focus artist's work in our sketchbooks!
