SUPERSONIC SIXES
Welcome to the Supersonic Sixes Class page. We are a supersonic and enthusiastic class ready to be inspired and to learn. Year 6 is an important and exciting year and I am sure all of our children will rise to the challenge.
SCIENCE
We have been learning about the human body. We learnt about diffusion and have done some investigation using Skittles. The results were really pretty! We also did some time lapse photos which are below.
Art
We have done some work on footballers in action. Here is a sample of some of the lovely work that the children produced.
DT - Summer term
We are sewing in DT this term. We have started by practising the key skills - needle threading, knots and some simple stitching. The children have made small "samplers" to practise these skills.
SATS
Well done everybody for working so hard for your SATs. We are all really proud of you.
SWIMMING - Summer Term
This term we will be swimming. It starts 24th May on Thursday morning. Please remember your swimming kit!
The other PE sessions may vary in time and day because this is a busy term for our Year Sixes! Please remember to keep PE kit in school.
SCIENCE - Spring Term
We learnt about adaptation in Science. In one lesson, we used different tools to mimic bird beaks to see how much food we could collect on a minute. This allowed us to think about the way the beaks of different birds are suited to the food they can find in their habitat.
DT - BRIDGES
We learnt about bridges in DT and the children used Polydron to make different types of bridges.
A cantilever bridge
A suspension bridge
A truss bridge

READING
As part of our reading workshop we shared a typical guided reading session and also looked at the pitch of year 6 reading. It is really important that all children read regularly at home. They should be reading a range of texts including fiction and non-fiction.
HOMEWORK
Homework will be set on Thursdays and will be due in on the following Monday. Homework will always include a piece of grammar work and a maths activity as well as the weekly spellings.
Your child has been given a grammar workbook which covers the year 6 grammar content. This book will be useful revision in preparation for SATs. We will go through the content in class so it is important that the children keep up with the work set. We will ask for 2-3 pages of the workbook for grammar and 1-2 pages of spelling.
Below is a glossary of grammar terms that may be helpful.
