Welcome to Year 6 – Oak
Mr Butler
Learning Update
In Literacy, we have been writing a variety of different texts. For example, we have gained experience in writing narratives, as well as both formal and informal pieces. As always, we have ensured that our writing includes Year 6 objectives, such as relative clauses and a range of punctuation.
In Maths, we have been working on a project based on starting our own bakeries. We have explored sourcing ingredients, as well as using Google Slides to create signs, adverts, and menus.
In History, we have continued our latest unit, Britain at War. We have explored the reasons why soldiers volunteered to fight. We have also created timelines and examined what life in the trenches was like – grim!
In PE, we have started Athletics. We have focused on the correct technique for sprinting and have coached each other.
In French, we have continued to develop our ability to discuss World War II.
In Music, we have been studying World War II propaganda songs.
In Computing, we have been learning how to use Google Sheets. We have applied formatting and functions to sort and organise data in spreadsheets.
In Art, we have begun our Abstraction unit by experimenting with line.
Coming up…
In Literacy, we will begin a new text: The Wind in the Walls.
In Maths, we will be calculating our future taxes!
In DT, we will design, create, and evaluate bridges.
In Art, we will continue our work on abstraction by experimenting with colour.
