Friday 15th March

Maths

This week we have been focusing on coordinates, plotting in all four quadrants and solving problems. This is preparing us for next week when we will be revisiting reflections and translating shapes. We also revised fractions and used this as an excuse to eat cake in maths.

English

This week we have moved on to developing our plan to be more specific enabling us to successfully use our animal research in our writing. The outcome stays the same: To write an explanation of how an animal has adapted to its environment, however, our focus shifts to writing the first draft of our introduction and paragraphs 1 and 2.

Events

Cake in Math: Any excuse to have cake is a good one. We explored simplifying and equivalent fractions.

PE: Our wonderful coach Erin struggled this week with the rain which meant PE was inside. Year six had a fantastic lesson and as always we are focusing on working as a team and what makes a good team player.

Sports Champions: On Fridays, year 6 are fortunate enough to have a visit from Sports for Champions. It is a wonderful opportunity for year six to access this extra knowledge about sports and what it takes to become a champion. As a class, we are all working hard to complete the tasks of doing more exercise and eating healthily.

Waterparks Meeting: Thank you to those who attended the meeting for those who were unable to attend you were missed. Please ensure you have a Waterparks information pack and that the medical consent form is filled and returned.

Congratulations!

As always in year six I am on the lookout for kindness and respect. This week I witnessed a student stand up to his best friends who were in the wrong. It is harder to do the right thing when it means standing up to our friends. This act showed incredible strength and moral understanding. This student was praised and rewarded, they know who they are and I am incredibly proud of them and I hope they are proud of themselves too.
