  Spelling homework

  Posted by Miss L Heward

  Spellings will be sent home on a Thursday and informally tested the following Thursday, to give the children a chance to see their progression over the year. A sheet with the spellings on will be sent home which gives the children chance to practice their spelling via repetition.

  Land of the Free Hook!

  Posted by Mrs N Lawday

  As an introduction to our new theme this term ‘Land of the Free’ Year 6 listened to some music and discussed the link to our theme. They then looked at a variety or freedom quotes and discussed what they meant. They then had the freedom to choose their activity of writing a song or poem inspired by freedom which some of them chose to do and others chose to design their own ‘Freedom Symbols’ and explain their reasoning behind them and what each part of it represented. I have discovered some very talented artists and rap artists!

  Maths

  Posted by Mrs N Lawday

  Today we were looking into what having a 'growth mindset' was and how this can help us in our learning. Year 6 then had to find all the numbers from 1 to 20 by only using four 4's and using any rule of number they liked! E.g to find 8 they did 4+4-4+4 They all persevered and we managed to get most of the numbers! Well done year 6.

  World Environment Day

  Today was World Environment Day, so year 6 were litter picking this morning around our school grounds. They worked brilliantly in teams and cleared all our school site of any rubbish, so we are hoping it stays lovely for a long time! This year's theme is focusing on land restoration, desertification and drought resilience. 🙂 The slogan is 'Our Land, Our Future'. The hashtag #GenerationRestoration is being used on socials so check it out.

  This year, year 6 are participating in the Fiver Challenge which is a national competition run by Young Enterprise. During the challenge pupils are pledged £5 and have four weeks to research, create, plan and run their own mini business either in a team or independently. It's a great programme supporting children to gain core enterprise skills such as communication, confidence and creativity. So look out for their products or services coming soon!
