Year 6 - Childwall C of E Primary School

Welcome to the Year 6 weekly blog.

Well done to all of Year 6 for leading the school in their Easter Liturgy this week. We were all so proud of their amazing singing and clear speaking. Well done Year 6! 

This week in Year 6

English

When Teens Play Detective: The Influence of Golden Age Detective Fiction on  YA Mysteries ‹ CrimeReads

 

In English we have been revising nouns, pronouns, adverbs and adverbials. We have also written an independent detective story based upon a new 'crime' which we imagined had taken place in school! 

 

Maths 

Volume of cubes and cuboids (examples, videos, worksheets, solutions,  activities)

This week, we have learned how to calculate the internal angles of any polygon. We have also learned how to calculate the volume of a cuboid. 

RE

Stations of the Cross For Children - The Way of the Cross - Via Dolorosa

In RE, we have prayerfully reflected on the stations of the cross. In groups, we all shared one of the stations and thought about the key message from our station. We then wrote a prayer based on our station. 

We used these prayers to pray all of the stations as a class and reflect on Jesus' journey. 

 

Topic 

In Science, we have learned how nutrients are absorbed into our blood stream. We also created some amazing posters to explain how to live a healthy lifestyle. We learned about how diet, exercise, medicine and personal hygiene could all keep us safe and healthy.

In Music, we played different beats using egg shakers!
