Welcome back to Summer term! I hope you had a wonderful Easter…He is Risen!! We have a very busy half term ahead of us, and I just know, from these first few days back, that Year 6 are ready to rise to any challenges they may face. They have come back to school fully focused and ready to work hard…I am very pleased! We also started our SATs booster lessons this week ; I hope they have found them useful! I have been very impressed with how much we are managing to get through in these extra lessons.
Here’s what else we have been up to this week…
In Maths we have been focusing on ratio. We have looked at the language of ratio, linking fractions with ratio and using the ratio symbol. The class seem to have picked this up very quickly!
In English we have been revising lots of areas in GPS, including: determiners, prepositions, word classes and apostrophes. In our writing lesson we have been identifying features of a formal letter to help us create a toolkit for when we write our persuasive letter to Miss Haggerty next week.
In RE we have shown an understanding that Jesus truly was Human and is God. Using scripture references, we identified times in the bible when Jesus showed that he was human, like everyone else, and times when he showed that he was also God. In pairs, we have created posters on this, on the laptops.
In Spanish we have been building on our knowledge of days and months to write sentences about our own and other people’s birthdays.
In PE we started two new sports. On Tuesday we had our first lesson on Orienteering and on Friday we had our first cricket lesson.
