Year 6 Blog - Friday 17th October 2025

Date: 16th Oct 2025 @ 10:05am

Welcome to the Year 6 weekly blog.

This week in Year 6

English

In English, we have been learning all about Dame Sarah Storey, so that we can write a biography about her life. Did you know she is the most decorated female Paralympian in Britain? We have worked hard to research facts about her life and then worked hard to create our biographies. We were all really proud of our hard work! 

Maths 

This week, we have been learning how to divide using chunking. We have worked hard all week and have now been dividing four digit numbers by a two digit number. 

RE

In RE, we created a piece of artwork to help us think about how Jesus restored our relationship with God. We called our artwork 'Jesus the reconciler’ and really enjoyed being creative! We also thought about what our favourite scripture was from our Creation and Covenant topic. 

Topic 

In Art, we worked hard to scale up a 2D image so that it was enlarged. We then had to transform our 2D artwork into a 3D piece of Art. We were all really proud of our work! 

In Computing, we learnt all about the different ways we can communicate online. We had to think carefully about what methods of communication fit different contexts best. 

For Science this week we had to use our research skills to investigate how different types of microorganisms could be helpful or harmful to us. 

In our Music lessons, we start our sessions with a game to practise the names of the notes: https://www.richmanmusicschool.com/products/name-that-note Try and beat our high score!

Home practice

Please complete the following tasks by next Thursday: 

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 -  

Please practise these spellings this week, which are from the Y5 and Y6 spelling list. 

All spellings are on Sumdog to practise for our test next Thursday.  

Maths Challenges: 

Sumdog 

Counting: 

This week I would like you to practise counting in decimal steps of 0.01 and 0.02, like we have practised in class. 

Draw a line with some marks on it. You could write the numbers as you count up or down, then double check it to make sure you have said the correct numbers.

Start with different numbers and count up 10 numbers then back again in 0.01 and 0.02. 

Times Tables: This week there are 100 times table questions to practise on Sumdog!

Maths Task: This week's learning is to practise questions about division which will help Year 6 to apply their learning from class this week. For further Maths work, please visit the 'Maths Training' section, where your child will be able to push their learning further with the skills that Sumdog has given them.

Well done to all our award winners in Golden Assembly this week!
