2. We would like the children to practise the following spellings:

This week the children have been researching, planning and writing about London tourist attractions that they will see from The London Eye.  The children’s final outcome will be a leaflet that they will take to London with them when they visit on Friday 30^th June.

Next week, the children will continue reading the book - The London Eye Mystery.  We will explore the character Ted further spending some time understanding his personality and why he appears to think differently to his sister. The children will learn that Ted has Autism and what that means for him.  As a year group, we will research, learn and write about what Autism is and how many people live with Autism in many different ways.  

Maths

This week, the children have worked with number sequences moving their knowledge towards calculating the Nth Term.  The children finished the week taking part in a problem-solving lesson that involved number sequences and patterns.

Next week, the children’s maths will be linked to our Thematic Curriculum.  We will be focusing on ratio and scaling recipes.  The children will then work in groups to scale up / down a recipe that will be provided to them.  They will then make this recipe!

Afternoon lessons:

PSHE

This week, the children received their Flour Babies and learned to be responsible for another ‘person’ that is not themselves.  Some of the children worked on this task independently and some with a partner. The Flour Babies task will continue next week with a reward and an extra reward for children who have shown a mature and responsible attitude toward the task.

French

The children have revisited French this week - focusing on buying items.  The children will continue this topic next week.

Art

On Friday this week, the children took part in an art task – drawing.  They have explored the different drawing tools that they will use for their Term 6 art lessons (different pencils).  The children then rehearsed drawing using perspective.  This skill builds towards their end of term art drawing project.

Computing

Next week, Year 6 will learn about coding in Computing.
