In year 6 this week…
What a fantastic end to a very busy and successful term! The children have worked incredibly hard and shown great resilience in all areas of their learning.
Year 6 have been doing so well in Maths this term. We have begun to touch on our new topic of Algebra, which the children approached with confidence and enthusiasm. We will be exploring this topic in much more detail after the Christmas holiday. Thank you to parents for your continued support with homework this term – it truly makes a difference.
We have finished reading Holes by Louis Sachar, and it was a huge hit with the class! The children loved the twists and turns of the story and finished the unit by writing some very positive and thoughtful book reviews. Next term, we will be reading When the Sky Falls by Phil Earle, which we are all very much looking forward to.
In Science, we have been investigating the human body by measuring our pulse during different levels of exercise. The children enjoyed taking part in practical activities and learning how exercise affects our heart rate.
