Year 6 - Bonobo & Narwhal
Fortnight beginning 29/09/2025
In the past 2 weeks during English we have read the story of the 2 Rogers who shared a sandwich on the seabed and acted out a potential conversation. We then worked on our speech punctuation skills, making sure we were accurate and conveyed character in our reported clauses.
In maths we worked on multiplication and division skills in preparation to multiply a 4-digit number by a 2-digit number. Some of us are still developing our times tables knowledge which is crucial to being successful when multiplying.
We have also enjoyed a visit from author Megan Hopkins who shared her Starminster series with us, had our individual photos taken, created weather reports on extreme weather and discussed the consequences of an individual's action on the rest of a group.
Fortnight Beginning 15/09/2025
Over the last two weeks in we have written safety guides for people who want to go trekking in the jungle - using imperative verbs, formal language and numbered points.
In maths we have started our new topic of addition, subtraction, division and multiplication. So far we have looked at common factors, common multiples and revised our addition and subtractions strategies.
We had a fantastic history visitor this week where we learnt about what led to the start of the First World War. We looked at a range of artefacts including helmets, an entrenching tool, bolt action rifle, light machine gun and a revolver. There was a quiz where we looked at a variety of information and raced to find the answers. We also learnt about the different types of gases and gas masks.
In the afternoon, we completed some marching drills, learnt how to throw a Mills Bomb (grenade) and tried our hand at getting through 'barbed wire'
undetected. It was an awesome day and we can't wait to delve more into the topic in term 3.
Fortnight Beginning 1/9/2025
Over the last two weeks in English we have written some unbelievable tales of summer holidays and read the story of 'The Girl Who Fell From The Sky', we then retold the story from the perspective of the jungle that she landed in.
In maths we have revisited place value and worked with numbers up to 10 million, compared, ordered and rounded numbers and we also calculated with negative numbers.
We explored our new science topic of evolution by looking at how fossils help us to see how things have changed over time.
We revisited rolls in gymnastics this week: log rolls, straddle rolls, forward rolls, backward rolls and incorporated different ways of travelling and in hockey we leant how to push pass and receive the ball.
