Good morning Year 6. I hope that you all had a wonderful half term holiday and that you managed to relax and take some time out.

Here is our weekly overview and our timetable for today.

Lenten Prayer - What are you going to pray for during Lent?

Mrs Webster is busy putting up the display in the school hall for Lent and we would like you to contribute with your Lenten prayers.

THINK DEEPLY - Have a think about what Lent is all about and what Easter is. Jesus was prepared to sacrifice so much for us that he gave HIS life for our forgiveness.

Can you write a thoughtful prayer and decorate the page border? Think about your spelling and the punctuation of your work.

English - SKELLIG. Oh how we have missed you.

Today, we are going back to Skellig, but first, we need to look at where we left it.

I want to know what was your favourite day of your holiday and why? Remember to be descriptive in how you write.
What can you remember about Skellig? What bits of the book have stood out to you?

Spelling - Homophones. Words that are confused.

Here are your spellings for this week. Same process as last week:

Monday - spellings announced

Wednesday - spellings dictation

Friday - spelling quiz.

MATHS - Calculating Area and Perimeter

What is area? What is perimeter? Can you remember? Today we are calculating the area and perimeter of squares and rectangles.

Times Table Rockstars
IXL Year 5 R4. You will have already done this last year but the consolidation is great.

Science - The Digestive System

This week is all about how our guts work - lovely!

Throughout this week, we will learn about the different stages, including what happens in the mouth, the stomach, and the intestines. We will also watch a demonstration and be able to explain the digestive system in our own words.

Follow the Oak Academy Lesson to start us off for the week and to gain knowledge ready for the week ahead.
