Year 6 - Looking Back and Forth - Friday 11th June 2021
Y6 – Friday 11th June 2021 – Looking Back & Forth in Year 6
Looking back:
We welcomed our super class back on Monday after a lovely, sunny half term and we’ve cracked on, once more, with some fabulous pieces of work. ‘Hansel and Gretel’ by Neil Gaiman is the focus for our English this half term and we have been a little intrigued by this darkly, traditional tale. Maths has seen us working on a number of topics including understanding and applying the ‘Mean’ and being able to read and interpret line graphs. We completed mind maps around the theme of ‘Respect’ and in Science, we have started to learn more about animals and humans. The Qu’ran is the focus for our RE lessons this half term and we are also enjoying double Premier Sports too. Mapwork and human geography takes up our Thursday afternoons and we are continuing to enjoy music with Mrs Sant.
The play – Ye Ha! – is going to be a continual topic – please could all pupils make sure that their scripts are in school every day. Thank you.
As pupils have Premier Sports on a Tuesday, and therefore wear their school sports kit, they may also wear their hoodies for the day. It’s also the same for Friday. Wednesday is also “Wear What You Want” day – who’s going to beat Dipsy?
Please note that the Year 6 Growing Up Talk will take place on Wednesday 23rd June. The presentation, which will be delivered by the school nurse, is available to view on the Year 6 page. It is a clickable link under the "News Items" and is also as a "File to Download" too.
