  This week year 6 have been building on their vocabulary that will set them up for a visit to the café in Spain! We learned that in Spain and other Spanish speaking countries they use Euros and centimos. We had lots of practice guessing amounts in Euros and had a go at some role play involving the bill.

  Posted by Miss L Heward

  Year 5 have made an amazing start to our term of tag rugby! We have braved the elements and are looking forward to a term getting stuck in to rugby on the field. So far year 5 have learned how to pass and receive a rugby pass correctly and have practiced this during a number of movements drills. I really look forward to seeing how they progress over the term.

  English - Poetry

  Year 6 have been looking at a poem called 'Sympathy' by Paul Laurence Dunbar. It's a poem of contrasts about a caged bird. We have been looking at why the poet might have written the poem and then the children looked at each stanza and had a go at writing their own. They then worked in pairs to edit their work.
