Today for mental health week, we dressed up as different emotions from the characters of inside out!

This week in writing, we have been focussing on using some high level vocabulary to describe, in preparation for our independent write next week!

This week in writing, we learnt all about conjunctive adverbs. We learnt how to punctuate them and how to use them effectively in formal letter writing. Considering this is a new skill, Y6 showed determination and resilience with their learning to produce some fantastic pieces of writing. Well…

This week in History, we learnt all about how the Ancient Egyptians wrote! As part of our learning, we learnt to write the words ‘Egypt’ and ‘Nile’ in hieroglyphics. Y6 Whales have really enjoyed learning about the Ancient Egyptians and produced some fantastic pieces of…

We have read an alternative story called ‘The Frozen Carrot’ and compared it to the class text we have at the moment ‘The Enormpous Turnip. We have thought about the similarities and differences between the two stories.

Together we made our picnic food. 

We have developed our fine motor skills by learning how to use a knife for spreading,…

Yesterday we created an adjective bank to describe the man and the turnip from our story. We practiced using them in a sentence verbally. Following from this, today we were able to apply this skill into our writing. We focused on describing the man today. 

This week we have learnt a square and a rectangle. We recapped our previously taught shapes circle and triangle. We then sorted different sizes, colours and types of shapes into groups.

This week in Maths, we have been learning how to measure and classify angles. Shape is a tricky topic in Y6; however, Y6 have persevered with their learning and showed an excellent understanding of the different types of angles. Well done!

This week in writing, we have started a new genre. We have explored the features of a formal letter and annotated WAGOLLs on Showbie identifying the different features. 

This week in Art, we began to make our activism posters. Our first technique we used to create our posters was collaging. We ripped up wallpaper and used this as a base for our posters. Y6 did really well in this lesson and created superb collages ready for the next step next week!
