English: We have continued reading our class novel Trash and children have completed several different activities this week including a reading comprehension based on the text.
Maths: Children have used formulae to find the area of triangles and rectangles and have applied this to finding the area of their own compound shapes. Towards the end of the week, we extended this to finding the volume of 3D shapes. Today we started to work through an assessment task completed earlier this week and we discussed how it is important to use an appropriate method/show appropriate workings.
Year 6s should be really proud of their hard work this week in Maths and their willingness to share and discuss their errors with their peers; we were able to talk through common mistakes and misconceptions and children were happy to share mistakes they had made so that everyone could learn from them. Well done Class 5!
History: Children have researched Winston Churchill and created fact files with a partner. Thank you to everyone who has been able to bring in some quite incredible WWII artefacts which children used to create a WWII museum. This work will be continued next week. Our governors had the opportunity to look at some of these artefacts prior to/after our Governing Body meeting this week and they were very impressed at the response to the topic from children and parents.
Well done to all Year 6s for the effort they put into their Blitz homework – it is lovely to see the children enjoying the WWII topic so much!
R.E.: This week, children have created some beautiful writing in R.E. based on our unit of work on Heaven – Our Special Place. We are looking forward to being able to display some of this work in school.
P.E.: Children continued their dodgeball sessions with Mr Bebb today.
Hope you all have a lovely weekend.
