Welcome to our very first blog of Year 6! It feels so strange writing that, I can’t believe my wonderful Year 5’s are now fully fledged, oldest in the school, Year 6 students!
We have had an amazing first week back and it has been wonderful for everyone to catch up and discuss their summer.
Starting as we mean to go on, we got straight back into things, kicking lessons off with some fun drama in English linked to our new, spooky, writing topic. We eased into maths with some place value looking at numerals with up to 7 digits and of course our Daily 10 arithmetic questions – I have been so impressed with how much knowledge the children have retained over summer!
We even began our very new topic, War Across The Ages. This started with some individual presentations of the INCREDIBLE summer projects that many of the class created over the 6 week holidays. Both myself and Mrs Johnson were utterly blown away with the hard work that must have gone into them all – and the huge variety of things that were presented! From 3D dioramas, amazing artwork, fact sheets, PowerPoint presentations and diary entries – WOW! We continued this learning by working in pairs in class to research a particular war, then created a chronological timeline of 16 different wars over the years.
Not only that but we have managed to squeeze in computing, PE, Music, Reading and Grammar!
A very successful first week back!
Well done Class 6.
Have a lovely weekend everyone.
Mrs Clayton
