Y6- rounding any number to the required degree of accuracy, interpreting negative numbers

This half term we shall be reading the novel Once by Morris Gleitzman by Michael Morpurgo, which tells the story of a Polish boy in World War 2 and comparing this tale to the story of Rose Blanche. We shall then be looking at extracts from War Horse and Private Peaceful. In our poetry unit, we will look at a range of poetry from WW1 and the book 'Where the poppies grow' to inspire our own writing.

In our spelling/ vocabulary sessions, we investigate spelling rules and patterns. Spellings will continue to be sent home as a new rule if investigated; please ensure your child practises these and applies them in writing. 

In addition to our English sessions, we have a daily whole class reading session. Reading fluency and stamina is vital in Y5 and 6, and we strongly encourage the children to read daily to continue to improve this and further expand their vocabulary and understanding.  We will visit the school library once a week to change books.
