This week in Year 6

18.12.25

It has been a wonderfully festive and busy week in Year 6, with the children embracing both their learning and the Christmas celebrations.

In English, we have been continuing to write our formal letters, carefully applying persuasive techniques and emotive language to strengthen our arguments. The children have worked hard to structure their writing effectively and consider the impact on their reader.

In maths, we have been learning how to multiply and divide fractions. The children have shown great resilience when tackling these challenging concepts and are growing in confidence as they apply their skills to problem-solving activities.

A real highlight of the week was our Christmas singing event on Tuesday. The children performed beautifully and represented Year 6 brilliantly, showing confidence, enthusiasm and festive spirit.

In art, we have been creating ceramic Christmas decorations and painting them with care and creativity. The finished pieces look fantastic and will make lovely keepsakes.

We also enjoyed a very special trip to the King’s Theatre to watch the Aladdin pantomime. The children’s excellent behaviour and positive attitudes made the trip a joy, and it was a wonderful way to celebrate the end of term together.

As always, please continue to encourage regular reading at home and sign your child’s reading log. Reading little and often makes a real difference to confidence and progress.
