Spring 1 - Week 4

Date: 2nd Feb 2024 @ 9:04am

Take a look at the Marvellous Meerkat’s learning this week...

Maths

In Maths this week, the year 6 children have been learning about position and direction. At the beginning of the week, the children began by recapping how to read coordinates from a grid. The children used the rule 'along the corridor and up the stairs' to successfully identify coordinates of shapes. At the end of the week, the children used their understanding of coordinates to translate (move) shapes along a coordinate plane (grid) and to reflect shapes across the x and y axis.

English

In English this week, the children have begun a new writing unit. In Year 6, we are currently learning how to write a persuasive letter. This week, the children have been exposed to different persuasive letter examples and have identified the features needed to write a good letter. 

We have linked our persuasive writing to our topic 'Frozen Kingdoms', the children will be writing letters to the United Nations, to persuade them to help combat climate change before our frozen kingdoms of the Arctic and Antarctica are destroyed.
