What a busy week we have had in Team Turquoise!

In English this week we have been writing our formal persuasive letters about evacuation.  We were very careful to include emotive language, formal vocabulary and a range of sentence types and are very proud of our finished letters.  Next week, we are going to be looking at A Christmas Carol and writing poetry and character and setting descriptions about Scrooge!

In Maths, we have been reminding ourselves about the properties of 2d shapes and looking at lines of symmetry, parallel lines and acute and obtuse angles. We then learnt about angles in a triangle, on a straight line and around a point, and how to calculate missing angles.  Next week, we will be learning about the properties of 3D shapes.

In RE, we have learnt about sacred and secular views of Christmas and designed our own Christmas cards incorporating a mix of sacred and secular images, finishing them with a sacred message inside.  We really enjoyed doing this! In PSHE, we have been looking at bullying and recapping what bullying is. We also look at why people might bully and what you should do if you are being bullied. We looked at a range of scenario cards and discussed as a table whether it is bullying or not bullying.

In Science this week, we investigated what happens to the brightness of a bulb if the length of the wires is increased. In French, we looked at information about different football players and answered a range of questions about each player. In geography this week, we used 4 and 6 digit grid references to locate places. We learn't that 6 digits give a much more precise location. 

Have a lovely weekend, and we look forward to seeing you on Monday.

Year 6 PE Days are Monday and Thursday
