This week in Year 6

4.12.25

It has been another busy and exciting week in Year 6, and the children continue to show great enthusiasm as we move towards the end of term.

In English, we have been developing the skills needed for our persuasive letters about the melting icecaps in Antarctica. The children have been exploring powerful language choices, strong arguments and emotive techniques to help them write convincingly about this important environmental issue. Their ideas and passion for protecting our planet have been brilliant to see.

In maths, we have continued our work on adding and subtracting fractions. The children have been working carefully with different denominators and applying their understanding to a range of reasoning and problem-solving tasks. Their confidence with fractions is growing every week.

We are also looking forward to some lovely festive events. The children are excited for the upcoming Year 5 and Year 6 Christmas Film Night, which is always a highlight of the season. We are also preparing for our Christmas singing event before the holiday break, and the children have been practising with great enthusiasm.

As always, please continue to encourage regular reading at home and sign your child’s reading log. Daily reading supports progress across the whole curriculum and helps build confidence and enjoyment.
