What have we been learning in class this week?
This week we have been drafting a speech to inform an audience about the impact of fast fashion on the environment and on the people who make our clothes. We have also continued to read our class novel 'Orphans of the Tide' which is set in a strange land where the rising water level has left only one city still standing. In maths, we have revised maths concepts taught his year as well as improving our mental arithmetic skills by using Winning with Numbers and Numeracy Ninjas. Our dance has continued to evolve and improve - we are excited to share it with you next week. We have also worked collaboratively to produce pieces of artwork to be displayed in the Taliesin foyer - please take a look when you arrive to watch the performance.
Our week ended with a visit to the Waterfront Museum where the children took part in a variety of workshops about staying safe with presentations from the police, the coast guards and the railways to name a few. it was a fun and informative way to end the week.

Reading
Year 6 children are expected to read daily at home and log their reading journal at least three times a week. We kindly ask that parents/guardians sign the reading journal once a week to help us monitor their progress. Each child has a designated reading day. Please see the inside of your child's reading journal to see which day your child's journal is due. Please see the below infographic on why reading every day is so important. If you need any advice on how to support the development of reading or book recommendations that are appropriate for your child.
If your child is part of the 'Nessy' or 'Reading Eggs' group, both of these platforms are able to be accessed at home for further practice.
Maths, Spelling and Grammar
All maths, times tables, spelling and grammar homework will be set via SumDog. Homework will be linked to the topics we have covered in school and help us to identify any misconceptions.
Other Homework
Occasionally, we will set other, optional homework for Year 6 children to complete. Please keep an eye on ClassDojo for more information on this.
