Year 6 - Looking Back and Forth - Friday 24th March 2023
Y6 – Friday 24th March 2023 – Looking Back & Forth in Year 6
Looking back:
This week, the children have enjoyed looking at pie charts in maths, moving onto a revision session about angles in maths; English involved meeting new characters and writing narrative extracts too. The Beaker people was our focus for history and we looked at a story “Love You Forever” for our No Outsiders work too. We rounded the week off with a session on hockey and a meet-up with our buddies. Only one more week to go, then its Easter – hard to believe where the time is going.

The girl with six sweets lives in the 3rd house on Main Road where there are many trees in her garden. These trees are taller than those in the back garden.
- What type of word comes after a determiner? What if that word is not there? What does the determiner then become?
- What can you tell me about “Love You Forever”?
