Year 6

What we are learning this week:

 

Spring 2, Week 4

Maths: This week, the children have been learning about ratio. We have solved ratio problems, including looking at recipes and scaling them up and down.

At home: Find a recipe at home – can you change the ratio so it makes a different amount?

English: In English the children have started writing their stories about an evacuee child who is being sent away from London to the countryside. We have revised the rules of speech punctuation, so that we can include dialogue in our stories.

History: The children have learnt about the role of women during World War 2 and designed a recruitment poster for a job which women would have done during the war.

Art: This term we have studied a range of propaganda posters from World War 2. This week, the children designed ideas for their own modern propaganda posters, which they will produce and paint next week.

PE: We have enjoyed the brief moments of sunshine outside playing cricket!

Homework: Your children will have brought home a book for their homework today. We will set the children homework every Friday and this will be due back in school on Wednesday. Each week, it will contain their spellings to learn, English and Maths consolidation for the week. The teachers will mark it together with the children each week so that they are able to address any misconceptions. If they are unable to return their homework by Wednesday, they will be given an opportunity to do it during a lunchtime club.

Thank you for your support with this.
