![]() We learnt that each square refers to 1km square in real life, and to find an exact location, we can use 6 figure grid references. Looking at an example of an OS map gave us the opportunity to learn all about eastings and northings as coordinates. We used our prior knowledge of OS symbols to identify key landmarks on a map London. In geography this week we continued to look at OS map symbols, although using 4 figure and 6 figure grid references was the main focus of our learning. We will continue with our learning next week. We were then introduced to the term Arboretum and using a map had a look at the site in Staffordshire. Your discussion and thoughtfulness towards Steven Frank were clear to see Y6. We discussed the content of the film and reflected on our own thoughts. Our history lesson continued with Steven Frank and his granddaughter taking them on his journey to Auschwitz.

We know that there are exceptions, but generally the rule is, if you cannot hear the root word it is an ible rather than able ending. We used different explanations to choose the correct wording. Our spelling lesson continued to focus on the ible ending. We will continue with this unit next week. We have created a useful toolkit and jotted down examples of each feature from our model. We have continued to learn our model write and used different stimuli to identify word classes and create metaphors. In english this week we have worked on our descriptive writing skills. We ended our week with our final SATs paper, and we will revisit them all next week. We have used measurements to create a logo and we have challenged our knowledge when answering reasoning questions. We have measured angles, drawn angles and calculated angles within triangles. In maths this week we have worked with angles in our geometry unit. This week you have worked hard in many different areas of your learning, and I am so proud of you all. These weeks are flying by, and we are packing so much into each of them.
