In year 6 this week…
Welcome back and Happy New Year! We hope everyone had a lovely, restful Christmas break. It has been great to see the children back in school and quickly getting back into the routine – things have already been very busy!
In Maths, we are continuing with our Algebra topic. The children have been working very hard and are showing great enthusiasm and perseverance when tackling new challenges.
In English, the children have begun their independent writing. They are writing poems based on the theme of evolution and change, and we can’t wait to read the finished pieces – there have already been some very creative ideas!
We have started our new class text, When the Sky Falls by Phil Earle. So far, we have read the first three chapters and are getting to know the main characters, Joseph and Mrs F. The children are really engaged and are looking forward to seeing how the story develops, while also continuing to practise their VIPERS reading skills.
We hope you all have a lovely weekend and we look forward to another positive and productive week ahead!
