Year 6 2021 - 2022

7.1.2022

Good afternoon

I hope everyone has had a good festive break and settled back to the routines of the children being in school. The children have all come back in ready to work and pleased to see their friends, which is great. There is a lot to do this term with the SATs drawing ever closer and as the nights get lighter, the hard work will continue! I have given the children the spring term newsletter, which outlines what will be happening in the coming weeks.

This week has seen some very cold weather for the children who took part in the Bikeability sessions but they have all persevered and done well.

In class, we have worked on reading and grammar based on texts about famous figures from history. We have also looked at some SATs style test questions, which everyone has completed positively. Our maths sessions have been focused on arithmetic and we have done a lot of calculations using white boards as well as some revision of fraction calculation methods.

On Thursday, we began to look at Sikhism with brief study of what a Gurdwara is and how it might look inside one. The children already have some knowledge about Sikhism from year 5 which we can add to and extend in the coming weeks.

Hopefully everyone can have a relaxing weekend and avoid the inevitable rain!

Many Thanks

Mr Riley.
