In our class worship this week we have been reflecting on God’s love for us. His love is unconditional and the greatest love of all. Well someone who showed God’s love through his actions was Saint Maximilian Kolbe. He was such an inspirational man, who put others before himself, something that lead to his own death. He sacrificed his own life for that of a stranger!
Here’s what else we have been up to this week….
In Maths we have covered prime numbers, square and cube numbers and order of operations!! It’s been a busy week. The class have done so well, and there have been some challenging questions we have looked at together as a class.
In English we are planning and starting to write our class diary. We are planning each paragraph together and then drafting each paragraph as a class, before the children then innovate our class write into their books. They will be able to use our class write to help them to structure and organise their own piece of writing.
In Science we finished describing the different functions of the parts of the circulatory system .
In History we watched some news reels from the Battle of Britain and made notes on what daily life was like for an RAF pilot. We then used these notes to consider how an interviewer would ask questions of the pilot so that we can recreate the scene and record our findings. We also had the chance to read a genuine letter from a real pilot during the Battle of Britain-its was quite emotional to read!

Notices:
Reading books - the class have completed their STAR Reading tests and been given their new ZPDs. I have said that they can finish reading the book they were in the middle of, even if it is not within their range. However, once they have finished that book they must then pick books within their range. Please can someone from home sign their records any time they complete home reading. In Year 6, I would expect them to be reading at least between 3 and 4 times a week.
All of Year 6 now have their appointed roles within school. I have been so impressed with how they have undertaken these roles with such maturity.
Homework- I have set homework this week, details of which can be found on the Year 6 Homework Page.
Contact information- if you need to contact me for any reason, please email using year6@our-lady.blackpool.sch.uk.
Have a lovely weekend!
