Our learning this week in Year 6

English

We have introduced ourselves the crime genre this week, specifically the Wild West!  Diving into our new novel, Holes, has been really interesting.  Our writing focus has been to create a non-fiction text describing the characteristics of the desert setting.

Maths

Once again we return to place value knowledge, but this time looking at decimal numbers.  This provides a solid foundation for understanding how to add, subtract, multiply and divide integers and decimals.

Art

During their art lesson, Year 6 have been continuing to develop their pencil drawing skills through still life.  This week they have drawn pictures of various glass bottles, with an emphasis on capturing the reflection of light.

Have a fantastic weekend!
