Maths Co-ordinates, we have been completing challenge question work by plotting the points on the axes to establish the exact location. Sometimes the diagrams are not to scale on the 4 quadrant co-ordinate grids; sometimes we need to calculate the co-ordinates by using our knowledge of algebra. English & History We have been writing … Read more
Here are the links to the E-books that Year 6 have made.

Maths Maths this week we’ve been problem solving by looking for the area of parallelograms by identifying the right angle triangles hidden within the shape and replacing them to make rectangles. Deconstructing the shape makes it so much easier to find the area once all the various different components have been calculated. … Read more
Maths We have been doing a variety of different mathematical operations to help us change from one type of problem to another as efficiently as possible. Also we have been looking at area and perimeter. Can shapes have the same area but a different perimeter? We have been drawing different rectangles that all have an … Read more
Maths This week we are fine-tuning our use of the protractor by drawing… a square! Sounds easy, but it isn’t. We were challenged by not being allowed to use the faint squares on the pages of our Maths books; we had to draw it at an angle. Also, a few worked page 171 of the … Read more
Maths Angles not ‘a n g e l s’! Knowing 180° and 360° is crucial for unpicking angle problems. A straight line made up from various angels will always total 180°. A collection of angles around a point will always total 360°. Any size or shaped triangle will always have a total of interior angels … Read more
Maths We have been converting grams (g) to kilogrammes (kg) and back again using a function machine. The word problems can also be represented by using either a bar model or a ‘billy’. The crucial aspect is that we can extract correct information from the data to complete it. We have also been looking … Read more
Maths We started this week with Billy the stick man and his handbag! Ratio, using a crosshair, can be calculated with this visual aid. As we progressed through more complex problems it became apparent that ‘Billy’ needed 2 handbags!! This was to show the quantity of repetition. Some of us were working … Read more
Maths Fractions are related to percentages and decimals. We can translate a fraction into a percentage and a decimal. This is the type of questions we are looking at. We are also exploring ratio using a Ribena recipe – how strong do we want it and how many friends are coming round so we will … Read more
Maths We have been exploring fractions even further and verging onto percentages. So now we are able to find a percentage of a number as well as a fraction of a number. English These photos explain exactly what we have been doing to our piece of writing, a Goyl stares at the Dark … Read more
