Year 6 Spelling Relays
We got active today in Crew White in order to learn this week’s spellings. Each team had to send one person at a time to write a letter of the word that needed to be spelled. The first team to spell the word correctly, won the point. I-N-D-E-P-E-N-D-E-N-C-E!
Build a sentence! Grammar practice in Crew White
In Crew White, we have been perfecting our knowledge of word classes by building funny, strange and…interesting sentences. Ever heard a sentence including brainrot before? Apparently, it’s something a lot of Year 6s are very familiar with. At least we now know that it is a noun, can be modified using adjectives and we can give extra detail about it using parenthesis, which can be embedded into a sentence using brackets, dashes or commas. See, grammar can be fun!
Active Bodies, Active Minds!
Crew Ramsay have been enjoying movement breaks between lessons this week to help us stay regulated and calm during lessons. We have loved dancing between sessions and cannot wait to boogie again tomorrow!
Case Study Two!
This week we launched our learning for Case Study 2: Geography. We learned the seven continent names and learned a song to help us retain it! We used atlases and maps to locate the continents and had some fun looking at various styles of maps such as topographical and OS. What a brilliant start to our local Geography unit.
