Congratulations to all of Year 6 for their effort and teamwork.
Week 1 post Water Parks
We have spent the week adjusting back to normal life. I have been exhausted and the children have too but their determination to succeed in their work has been second to none. The teamwork and resilience they learnt last week have certainly carried us through this week.
English
This week we have been focusing on GPS and inference for our SATs. We also recapped how to write a diary entry ready for a cross-curricular unit in RE. Rounding off the week with spelling tests and reading tests.
Maths
This week we have been finishing off revising decimals and recapping fractions. We also learnt about pie charts and how to read the information presented in them. We rounded off the week with three math tests in preparation for SATs.
RE
We used our diary knowledge from English and we wrote a diary entry from the point of view of being a disciple on the day that Jesus ascended into heaven The year six work was outstanding, they all enjoyed getting back into our RE work after the week break we had at Water Parks.
PE
Year six had mixed feelings about PE this week as cricket is not the sport for everyone. Having said that they all tried hard and worked well as a team during the class. Erin was pleased with their teamwork and kindness.
Kindness
As always we are looking for students who are kind and caring towards each other. The whole school has noticed a positive change in the year six behaviour since returning from Water Parks. Oscar Oc has been exceptionally kind towards Jacob this week, Amelia saw a year five being mean to someone and she stepped in to sort the situation out, Joshua has been kind to Hallie in class, Lexi has been kind to her classmates who were feeling left out, Emma has been kind to William and Josh.
Keep it up Year 6! Kindness is so important.
As Lexi and Oscar Oc have told me:
Enemies has seven letters, so does friends.
Liars has five letters, so does truth.
Hate has four letters, so does LOVE.
