14th to 18th May
This has been SATs week for our Year 6 pupils - so well done to them for working well through it.
We have continued with our usual curriculum. We have been working on our Grandpa Chatterji text in English, looking at the second and third chapters. We have thought about the variety of words the author has employed instead of using "said" over and over again and also done some work on connectives and complex sentences. Another element of our studies has been to consider the different aspects of Indian culture that we have learned about from the text.
In maths, the main work has been concerned with number and calculations. We have revised and practised doing some harder addition and subtraction sums, including problems, and also spent time on decimals, developing fluency in finding complements to 1, 10 and whole hundreds.
We have learned about the Gurdwara in RE. Having been given a set of pictures of a Gurdwara, we researched these Sikh places of worship on the internet and used this information, with the pictures, to begin creating a PowerPoint presentation.
We finished with week with some technology, making and investigating a simple model with levers and linkages.
