Year 6 Blogs

 Friday 2nd May 

We would like to start our blog by saying how incredibly proud we are of Year 6 this week. We are just over a week away from SATs so as you can imagine, we are very busy! We are all working so hard to practice, recap and revise everything we have learnt over the past few years, plus a few new concepts. We will continue with our revision next week and we are sure it will all be worth it when we can all walk into the hall confident in everything we have learnt. 

As well as revision, we have continued to look at our new text, Shackleton's Journey. We have written a setting description of Antarctica and a diary entry from Shackleton's crew based on this and have really thought about our language choices and using lots of the punctuation we have been practicing. 

We have really worked hard in maths- looking at angles in shapes and reading and drawing graphs. We have also practiced maths fluency and previously taught concepts every morning. 

In art, we have continued to look at digital art and have started to plan and create our own pieces. We really enjoyed using the computers to find objects that we would blend together to create our work. 

We have also done rounders and quick cricket with Mr Aspinall, focusing on throwing and catching skills as well as batting. We then competed against each other in teams. In forest school, we were building shelters just like the crew in Shackleton's journey, although we were slightly warmer than them in this warm weather! 

Next week promises to be another busy one with our learning exhibition! We are looking forward to showing you all what we have been doing over the past term and how much we have learnt, there might also be a few tests in there for you! 

Wishing you all a wonderful bank holiday weekend!
