Year 6 Maths Overview 2024 – 2025
In Year 6 we have a Maths focus on conversion facts. Regular practise helps the children become fluent and confident which will then support them as they build their Maths knowledge giving them a strong foundation ready for Secondary school. Please see below for ways to support your child at home.
Homework Lent 2
Year 6 students at Sacred Heart School had a remarkable experience as part of our Science curriculum, learning about the anatomy of a heart. They had the opportunity to dissect a heart, gaining a hands-on experience and providing a unique and memorable learning experience. Under the guidance of our biologist, Mrs Noronha, the students carefully observed and explored the intricate details of the heart. They identified different chambers, valves, and blood vessels, discovering how they all work together to keep our bodies functioning. This practical approach to learning allowed the students to engage with the subject matter on a deeper level, enhancing their understanding of the structure and function of the heart. The heart dissection activity also fostered valuable scientific skills, including careful observation, precision, and teamwork. Students worked collaboratively in small groups, sharing their findings and discussing their observations with their peers. This encouraged communication skills and helped them develop a scientific mindset, where inquiry and curiosity are encouraged.
By providing Year 6 students with the opportunity to dissect a heart, we aimed to inspire a passion for biology and ignite their interest in becoming future scientists. This experiential learning approach not only enhanced their knowledge and understanding but also allowed them to develop crucial scientific skills that will serve them well in their future studies.
As part of our RE Enrichment, we celebrated ‘Diwali Day’ in school. We were able to explore how different religious beliefs and values are expressed through traditions in religion, society and cultures.
Everyone dressed up in beautiful colourful outfits. In Creative Arts we focussed on Indian dance. We also worked on improving our Art & Design and Design & Technology technique and skills, including drawing, painting and sculpture using a range of different materials (for example, pencil, paint, powder paint and clay). Year 6 pupils performed dances in assembly.
To start our school year a number of children from Year 6 took part in a residential trip to Kingswood. To view pictures and find out more about our trip please follow this link.
Our fundraising event this morning bought fun, laughter, and colour to all involved. Through your incredible efforts with sponsorship, the LCH can continue to provide the support children living in poverty need. All funds raised help improve local children’s lives. THANK YOU so much for your kind generosity!
World Book Day!
We had a wonderful World Book Day exploring our new book ‘Leon and the Place Between’ in class and we wrote some brilliant pieces choosing vocabulary that would create setting and atmosphere. We also spent some quiet time in the library before we did some reading with our Year 1 reading buddies!!
