English

This week, Year 6 wrote a narrative to the short film: Alma.  The children focused on description, mood, tone and atmosphere. As part of their guided reading lessons, year 6 continued to improve their comprehension skills by reading and answering questions linked to a variety of texts.  Next week, the children will plan and write a commentary to the documentary: snakes verses iguana.

Maths

Year 6 focused on their percentages of amounts this week.  They have learnt how to find 1%, 10%, 25% and 50% of an amount.  Next week, Year 6 will be looking at money word problems.  Learning next week will be all practical and will start with Year 6 being given a fictional budget that they can spend in the Year 6 shop! 

Thematic

This week, Year 6 have focused on their Design Technology skills and have learnt about seasonal foods and why seasons are important.  Next week, Year 6 will design and make their own healthy snack.
