Year 6 News

In Maths, we have been learning how simplify and compare fractions, using our times table knowledge to help. We have also learnt how to convert mixed and improper fractions. Fractions really aren't as horrible as the children thought they were!

 

We completed our diaries in English, which were linked to the Highwayman. The emotive language, thoughts and feelings were particularly impressive and showed a good understanding of the characters.

 

Everyone created rainbows in Science this week, using water, a torch and a mirror as well as prisms. This showed how light is actually made up of a spectrum of colours. We will be using this knowledge to write an explanation text in English next week.

 

Please remember to bring clothes for swimming next week (2.12) as it's a water safety session. A normal swimming kit is needed too. Full length leggings, a long sleeved top and football skins are ideal. Nothing loose please.

 

Have a great weekend
