Spring 1 Term

Year 6 have had a jam-packed half-term filled with excitement, challenge and hard work. The children, yet again, have showed how resilient they can be across a range of different scenarios. Some of our highlights included Bikeability and mock SATs week. We have begun to run our booster group sessions for the children within school hours and it has been great to see how the children have tackled this extra challenge. We are also impressed with the children showing independence with their home learning which is set on LbQ.

In English, we have been using the book ‘The man who walked between the towers’ by Mordicai Gerstein to retell the story of Philippe Petit. The children have been fantastic at applying their writing techniques to this interesting true story. They have thought carefully about their sentence lengths and how they can build anticipation within their writing.

In maths, we have explored a range of measurement including: conversions, metric and imperial, volume, area and perimeter. The children have also been continuing their revision of the arithmetic skills in maths, focusing on multiplying and dividing by 10, 100 and 1000, multiplying decimals, adding and subtracting fractions with different denominators and many more!

As the children are now fast approaching their SATs, we just want to remind them to continue tackling challenges with resilience. The whole of the year 6 team are extremely proud and we look forward to seeing you all next half-term!
