We continue to enjoy our class book – Boy in the Tower. This week, we have started writing our own suspense stories in a similar style. We will complete these before Easter to find resolutions to some of the terrifying threats that have been identified.
Over the last 2 weeks, we have been revising and learning about measurement and conversion of measure. Volume has been the focus of lessons this week and we have learnt how to calculate it as well as solving problems and carrying out an investigation.
In Science, we are learning about electricity, the different types of circuits and their features as well as how to identify errors in circuits. Next week, we will look at how electricity is made and think about and discuss ‘clean energy’.
On Monday afternoon, we all hopped on the coach to the fire station to take part in the Crucial Crew workshop. There were nine different scenarios set up around a variety of hazards and risky situations that children may face, as they become more independent. They had discussions and talked about making decisions around safety and responsibility as well as possible consequences of making the wrong decisions.
As the children know, next week, we will be doing another set of mock SATs papers; this is just part of our preparation for the tests which are coming up in May.
Please check Google Classroom for the homework and in the meantime, we wish everyone a lovely weekend.
The Year 6 Team
