This week ….in rotations-Hotmaths tasks on Percentages, later….we’ll be learning a little about the countries of Africa….bit of a world tour before you leave Year 6….

Hello year 6,

Hello year 6,

You should all begin work on your project tomorrow. Remember the template for the ppt. is in the shared folder. You can use it ‘as is’ or modify it to add more slides.Use books as well as websites for your information.

Don’t forget…….. the European Countries and Capitals quiz is on next Wednesday afternoon.

How many European countries and their capital cities can you learn and remember? This link might help you but remember, not all of these countries are European. You’ll have to compile your own list.

This link takes you to a interactive site which will help you improve your geographical knowledge.

You could try downloading a map of Europe or use the atlases at school.
