Love to Learn: 

-There is no Love to Learn task over this week. Please enjoy your Half Term holiday! 

 

Learning in Year 6: 

-In English this week, we have learned about the leader of Germany during WW2: Adolf Hitler. We have identified the features of biographies and used this to write a biography of Hitler. 

-In Maths lessons, we have been interpreting and then constructing bar and line graphs. We have learned that bar graphs show data from one particular moment in time and line graphs show data changing over time.  

-In Thematic lessons, we learned more about WW2: we learned how to use maps; we found out where bombs were dropped in Ramsgate and also looking at main cities in the UK. We also created our own artwork depicting the Blitz. 

-On Monday, we thoroughly enjoyed taking part in the Viking Games with Upton and RAPS.  With only two points in it, TEAM HOLMES (red) were declared the winners!

      

      

      

After half term: 

-In English, we will be looking at two different films: a clip from BFG and a short film called Pere Lachaise. Using these films as inspiration, we will be looking at how to control formality in speech and also how to create suspense.  

-In Maths, we will be learning about reflection, translation, tessellation and also co-ordinates. We are going to be using art to show our learning. 

-In PSHE lessons, we will be discussing our aspirations and also talking about how we have more responsibility as we grow up. We will also be looking at what it means to have a healthy relationship with other people in our life.
