A great week back, well done Year 6.
Fabulous effort at completing your home practice over half term.
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.

In English, we have written for different audiences and purposes. We rewrote a piece in third person about a young boy receiving a present. We tried to include excellent description and some dialogue. We also wrote a first person flashback in the role of Jacqueline Auriol, the first european woman to break the sound barrier in 1953. In addition, we reported on high diving giraffes and wrote a beautiful poem based on a poem by Peter Vacz, using personification.
In Maths, we have been comparing, ordering, adding and subtracting positive and negative numbers and finding differences.
In RE, we wrote letters in the style of St Paul for the children in Y2. This advised the Year 2 children how to grow up as members of our school community.
In PE, we worked on our tag rugby skills and played mini games.
In French, we learned a range of clothing vocabulary.
