This week in Northamptonshire 6

Week beginning Monday 30th March:

It’s been another great week in Year 6! In English, we continued reading our termly text: ‘When the Sky Falls’. What did you write about this week? What style of writing was it? How did you change your writing to suit the genre/style?

In RE, we recapped and built on some prior learning from Year 5 in our Judaism unit. This week, the children recapped some of the key stories from the Torah including Jonah and the whale and the story of Moses leading the Israelites from Egypt. We discussed how these events inspire the way in which Jewish people live their lives and celebrate during their religious festivals. Can you remember the names of any of the Jewish religious festivals? How does the Torah inspire the way Jewish people celebrate these special days/occasions?

In Reading this week, we used our comprehension skills to answer questions about a range of different texts. Remember to use all the strategies we have discussed in class to help you with your half term reading tasks. On the note of home learning, each child has been given a reading pack to complete during the half term break; we have also uploaded a SATs Bootcamp guide to the class webpages which outlines the topics we advise the children to revise.

We hope you have a great half term!

Mrs Midgley.
