WEEKLY SPELLINGS
Year 6 Spring 2 Spellings Overview
PE DAYS
PE is now on a Tuesday with Commando Joe and on a Friday with the 6S team. Please make sure you have the correct PE kit in school on both days.
In the first couple of weeks of Spring 1 the children revisited invasion games and practised the skills of attacking and defending. Here are a few photo's of what they got upto.
READING
We are currently embracing the love of reading for pleasure, and as such are enjoying being read to by your children every day in school. For this to continue - please ensure your child brings their reading book to school every day and take every opportunity to listen to them read at home too. This could be reading to grown-ups or even sharing a bedtime story with a younger sibling.
WHAT WE ARE LEARNING THIS TERM
Year 6 Summer Curriculum Letter
THE CIRCULATORY SYSTEM
We are currently learning about the circulatory system and the different components of blood. To help the children visualise what this might look like, we made blood using a range of household items, including; food colouring, cereal, mini marshmallows and water! Who knew blood could be so tasty!

WHITE BLOOD CELL SUPERHEROES
The children have been getting creative to showcase their understanding of how white blood cells act as 'superheroes' in our bodies, keeping us healthy by fighting viruses and bacteria.
