Week beginning Monday 11th March
It has been a very exciting week here in Year 6 - Science Week has put our problem-solving and scientific thinking skills to the test. The brief was to design, construct and calibrate a pendulum that could be used to measure a period of time; these would then be used to time an activity that linked back to our previous learning about the circulatory system and investigations on heart rate. The children worked incredibly hard and showed excellent team-work and perseverance to solve this tricky time problem. There were some truly wonderful creations that the children had thought about so carefully - have a look at the pictures below to get an idea of the variety and breadth of their imaginative thinking.
In French this week, we have continued our learning on 'My French House' - this week we have been constructing sentences to describe what you would find in each room of the house and whereabouts in the house it is. The children are really enjoying it and are showing real enthusiasm for French ahead of their trip to Hardelot in the summer.
We hope you all have a wonderful week,
Miss Aldis and Miss Gow.
Home learning and spellings will be set each week on a Thursday and will be due in the following Tuesday.
Times Tables Rockstars!
To keep practising the multiplication taught in class, and challenging yourself to keep the ones you already know fresh, don’t forget to log into your Times Tables Rockstars account.
Rapid recall of multiplication is essential for success in maths and Times Tables Rockstars gives children self-confidence, recognition and motivation to improve. Challenge yourself to beat your score, build your knowledge and watch your confidence sore, as you become a Rockstar!
Please ask your class teacher if you need replacement log in details.
Please work through the activities below, as we will be working on these skills in our lessons:
Maths
Have a go at practising your arithmetic below.
Grammar
To consolidate the children's knowledge and understanding of grammar, for home learning they need to complete the sheet home which contains a range of questions. There is a copy below if needed:
Spelling:
In Year 6, the children are in different spelling groups. If your child is unsure who their spelling teacher is, please ask. Please practise your spelling words as part of your home learning. Our spelling test will be on a Wednesday.

Also attached is the 100 most common words that your child is expected to know by the end of Year 6 (please see below).
Reading
Children should be reading every night at home. This should be recorded on Boom Reader at least once a week by a parent or carer. Instructions on how to log on to Boom Reader have been sent home in your child's bag. Boom Reader can also be downloaded as an app. Please ask if you have any questions.

Please note: pupil login details have changed slightly due to an upgrade that has taken place on the Accelerated Reader platform. Pupil login details (user name and password) should now be enter in all lower case (no capital letters at all). These login details are used each time your child quizzes a school reading book which carries an accelerated reading quiz code.
Music Knowledge Organiser
Below is the music knowledge organiser for this term's music topic. To help with their in-class learning, please can the children read over this each week.
