Year 6
Welcome to Term 2
This is always an enjoyable term and there are lots of extra curricular activities planned on the countdown to Christmas. We will be continuing to work hard to prepare for our SATS tests in May, but we will also be trying to have lots of fun too ! Our PE days this term will be Thursdays and Fridays.
Thank you for your support so far!

Homework
Please can I remind you to ensure your child is reading at least 5x a week at home and completing TTRS. Along with this, your child will also be set some extra
homework challenges to help prepare them for SATs. There is a timetable on the website to show the questions that need to be completed each week.
If your child struggles with a question, please do write me a note or ask them to speak to me. We will keep on with this process until SATS.

October – Scientists
As part of our enquiry, Darwin and Linnaeus how are they connected?, we have been investigating the pattern between different shaped bird beaks and the food they can eat. We used different tools to represent the beaks and items for the food sources. We found out that there is a pattern between the two and finches have adapted their beaks in order to survive depending on the food available.
September- Mathematicians
Today as mathematicians we have been understanding square numbers. We used counters to investigate what makes a square number and how we can show this.
September – Athletes
This term Year 6 are lucky enough to have St Brenden’s RFC in to teach them some tag rugby skills. We have been enjoying learning how to pass and move with a rugby ball before putting this into games.
