Homework

Please read pages 16 and 17 in your CGP Reading Book entitled 'Kidnapped' and answer Question Set 1 on pages 18 and 19.

Your child will be coming home with two CGP workbooks.

One for 'Reading' and the other for 'Grammar, Punctuation and Spelling'.

I will add to the class page each week which pages to complete. This is set and due the same day as the children's MyMaths homework (set on a Thursday and due the following Wednesday) 

Red Kites

TO finish the term, we have spent our English lessons taking inspiration from 'Rose Blanche' by Roberto Innocenti and Ian McEwan.

This picture book shows the perspective of a young German girl during WW2 and how she sees her town change throughout the war. The children have discussed difficult topics with maturity, curiosity and consideration. We have written setting descriptions and, following some very amusing drama activities, playscripts.

In maths, we having been looking at squared and cubed numbers. We created a display using multi-link cubes and should how quickly the numbers get bigger. The class enjoyed working as a team and making sure they were not all making the same number.

In History, we have been learning about World War 2. We have baked rationed carrot biscuits, packed a suitcase for an evacuee and learned how civilians prepared for the Blitz.

Year 6 will have PE and library on a Wednesday afternoon. They can continue wearing their PE kit to school on this day to reduce time spent changing.

Maths homework is set on a Thursday and will be due back in the following Wednesday. 

As a class, we voted on a class book for this half term and settled on 'Crater Lake' by Jennifer Killick 

In Guided Reading, we began 'Goodnight Mister Tom' by Michelle Magorian
