Parent Consultations
Parent
consultations this time are for the Year 5 parents only, as the Year 6 parents
were invited back in January.
Year 6 Numeracy Book
The children in Year 6 have been given a
‘study guide’ and a ‘question book’ to work through ahead of the SAT’s. Next
week we will be learning about Division (pages: 15-18 in the study guide). If
your child would like to complete these pages at home and bring the book back
into school they will be rewarded for their hard work!
Although completing the pages is not
compulsory, we are keen to reward your child’s effort. You can support your child by marking the questions;
you will find the answers in the back of the book. Alternatively, your child can mark their own
learning and make any amendments to their answers in pen so we can see the
changes made. Your child can also bring
the ‘study guide’ book into school each day, and even use it to support them in
their Numeracy session.
Times Table Challenge:
Times
Table Challenge will be on Friday April 4th. So, get practising!

Core
Subjects:
Numeracy:
This week in Numeracy the children have been
learning about multiplication and using the grid method to multiply numbers by
given amounts before applying these skills to word problems. Next week, we will
be learning about division, including the Bus Stop Method to divide by a single
digit number and the Chunking method to divide by a 2-digit number.
Literacy:
This week pupils have been looking at the key
features of newspaper articles. We have compared and contrasted a range of
different newspapers, discussing the intended audience. Pupils selected a key
audience for their newspaper report and then researched a topic of their choice.
Next week pupils will be planning and drafting their very own newspaper report using
a range of journalistic features.
SPELLINGS: Next week, the spellings are: non-fiction,
non-slip, nonsense, nondescript, mismanage, mistrust, misunderstand, disappear,
discovery, disbelief. Your child has received a copy of these spelling and will
be tested on Friday 4th April.
