St Oswald's Catholic Primary SchoolYear 6 Friday Blog - Friday 5th June
Date: 5th Jun 2025 @ 7:54am
Welcome to the Year 6 weekly blog.
All of Year 6 have had a busy first week back in school. All of the children have been working hard at rehersals for our production. Year 6 have also helped to run the tough kidder this week. Well done for all your hard work Year 6!
This week in Year 6
English
In English we have been exploring the graphic novel 'The Arrival'. We have used our inference skills this week as there are no words in the text! We have written a narrative based on an image from the story, a diary entry in role as the protagonist and created a backstory for one of the characters who moved to the city.
RE
In RE, we have started our new topic 'Dialogue and Encounter'. We have learned what the common good is and created shields to represent the principles of Catholic Social Teaching.
Topic
In Science, we have started our new topic all about evolution! We have learned about adaptation in plants by researching different plants and finding out how they are adapted to their environment.
In History, we have continued our topic all about WW2. We have learned how Hitler rose to power.
In Computing, we have been investigating how to use spreadsheets and how to add a formula to a spreadsheet.
Please complete the following tasks by Wednesday 11/06/25.
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.
