Year 6 STAR Project

Year 6 have begun the STAR project today with West Mercia Police.  We take part in this alcohol and drug awareness programme for Year 6 pupils each year.  Children complete booklets which they will bring home later in the term.

Spellings for Wednesday 19th

To support with understanding definitions for spellings, the ‘Collins children’s cobuild dictionary’ is a very useful tool.

Due to the changes in the Literacy curriculum children in Year 6 are expected to be secure with all KS2 spellings. There will be no choice of spellings, in terms of degree of difficulty. All children, of all abilities, need to learn the following for next week:
actual learn
early group
heard circle
often build
eight eighth

Y6 homework due on Wednesday 19th September

1.Read at least 3 times and ask an adult to sign your reading diary to confirm.
2. Learn your spellings. Complete detailed sentences and definitions in your homework book.
3. Complete the blank times tables grid
4. Complete the science activity – this has a literacy focus also, so writing should be of a high standard. We have started to look at classification and children are asked to create a poster (not a Powerpoint presentation) to describe what each of the groups are like. Complete in homework book, not on a separate piece of paper please.
With the science activity it is important that children demonstrate their understanding of the different classifications that have already been introduced to them in class. They may want to focus on 2 different kingdoms and present factual information about each one or they could present all the different kingdoms in one piece of work.

Spellings for week beginning 10th September

accident answer
address believe
actually bicycle
appear breath
arrive breathe

Spellings will be tested from Wednesday the week beginning 10th September.
