Our learning this week in Year 6

English

 

We have looked at features of a biography, including how paragraphs are organised into themes, as well as the linguistic devices used.  We have worked hard to incorporate more relative clauses into our writing.  Using our science research, we have written biographies about the great scientist, Charles Darwin.

Maths

We have spent this week mastering how to find the area and perimeter of rectinlinear shapes.  This involves lots of problem-solving and practical thinking, take a look at an example questions below.  Can your child show you how to find the answer?

 

RE

We have brought together our understanding of the Christian sacrament of Eucharist by celebrating the main aspects in our own stained glass windows.

Art

Here are some examples of the children's artwork which, this half-term, was still life drawing.  The results are stunning!

We hope you have a lovely, safe and restful half-term!
