Year 6 Friday Blog - Friday 27th February 2026

Date: 26th Feb 2026 @ 10:07am

Welcome to the Year 6 weekly blog.

This week in Year 6

English

In English we have begun our new unit all about detective fiction. We have shared the story 'The Happy Alien' together and used tentative language to explore our suspects in the text. We have also written a diary entry in role based on the events of the story. 

Maths 

This week, we have been learning all about fractions. We have revised how to add and subtract fractions and mixed numbers and we have also learned how to multiply two fractions together and divide a fraction by an integer. 

RE

In RE, we have started our new topic 'desert to garden'. We made some beautiful title pages and created our own Lenten promises, thinking about how kindness can be transformative in our communities. 

Topic 

In Science, we continued with our work on the body. We learned what pulse was and investigated which exercise increased our pulse the most. 

For Art, we completed our topic on colour by designing our own colourful space!

As part of our Faith in Action award, we completed our second reflection. We thought carefully about the story of 'The Good Samaritan' and explored how we could show love to our neighbours through acts of kindness. 

Please complete the following tasks by Wednesday: 

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 - 

Spellings this week are from the Y5/Y6 and the Y3/Y4 statutory spellings.

We will have our test on the 6/03/25

It is useful to write the words down on the spelling sheet, but you could also ask someone to call the words out and spell them out loud. Other ideas include, breaking the words up and writing them down in different colours (accommodate). You could look for words within words (accompany) or think of your own ways to remember the word, for example, spell it aloud using a mnemonic or tune.

SATS Revision: 

Today, the children have been given a login for SATs bootcamp. This is a fantastic website, which will really help with the children's SATs revision: https://www.yearsix.co.uk/sats-boot-camp/.
