GEOGRAPHY: We have made an explosive start to our learning based on our 'Extreme Earth.' Pupils explored the location of different places around the world and considered the variation in climate and weather. We also explored some of our planet's most extreme weather.
We were lucky enough to receive a visit from Isabelle Gorst who is a Meteorology student currently completing her PHD. She shared some really interesting information with us about how weather is measured. She also gave us some tips about what subjects to study should we want to take up the study of the weather.

Well done Year 6 you really have made an amazing start to Year 6.
Literacy: We have been revisiting word class in SPaG and looking at spelling rules when adding suffixes. We are already hooked with Alex Rider's adventures in Storm breaker by Anthony Horowitz (our class author). We are just in the process of establishing what our impression of Alex's character is and then we will be producing a character description together. Our Year 6s will then get to choose a character of their own to describe. Maths: We have been ensuring out times tables skills remain top notch and are in the middle of the three week X Table challenge. We are completing in some lightning speeds. In our maths lessons we have been exploring mathematical structures and developing number stories around a variety of different structures and forms. We have been applying the use of our key mathematical vocabulary. |
