Year 6 News - 10th May 2024
After working very hard for a long time, Year 6 will be taking on their KS2 assessments next week. I have no doubt that each of them will put 100% effort into showing off their skills and am immensely proud of them for the dedication shown by many in the months leading up.
Meanwhile, we have been writing some incredible persuasive leaflets about the theme parks we have created based on the world of “Pandora” from Avatar. The children have developed their use of specific language including the use of idioms as well as the subjunctive form. If only these theme parks were real, you’d definitely want to give them a whirl!
In stark contrast, we are now writing very formal letters of complaint about the same theme park after an imaginary trip there went disastrously wrong! It is great to see how much the children have enjoyed writing at the two extremes and – believe me – I hope future companies never get on the wrong side of this lot as they will be getting some extremely critical correspondence.
In maths, we have been developing our skills in time, data handling and algebra as the last few topics we have needed to cover. Following this, lots of revision has been taking place with the children recalling prior knowledge well.
Geography has seen us applying some of our coordinate skills when using OS maps online to practise reading 6-figure grid references. We have been exploring the Port of Blyth in order to see the kinds of renewable and non-renewable energy sources created and distributed around the local area.
Good luck next week Year 6 – you’ll be amazing!
