Week Beginning 3.3.25
Great work was completed this week as we continued to focus on decimals in Maths. We used place value and gattegno charts to aid us in multiplying and dividing by 10, 100 and 1,000.

We began Spring 2 by exploring our new text - a speech by Greta Thunberg calling for action on climate change.
In our final week of the first half-term this year, we finished our electrical projects, where pupils designed and created electrical toys. We were treated to propeller-powered cars, helicopters and windmills.
We also worked together on group projects in RE, retelling stories from the bible relating to the concept of things being eternal.
As part of Safer Internet Day, we looked at 'Scams' and how we can avoid them as well as what to look out for!
In our programming sessions in Computing, we learnt how to add 'Variables' to games created with 'Scratch' on our iPads.
This week we went on a trip to the Lynn Museum and Stories of Lynn to immerse ourselves in our upcoming World War 2 topic.
Our week began with some handball! This week we practised our shooting skills.
Our learning this week included a visit to Machu Picchu as part of our exploration of the Incan Empire in Geography. The pupils looked at how the empire managed to maintain control over a vast, challenging area.
In our second week of the term, we continued to progress with our learning across all of our topics.
We're back for the Spring Term! Lots of exciting new topics to cover and learning to be done in Year 6.
Here's what we have been up to in our first week back...
This week, we have been continuing to work on fractions within Maths, while finding time for some reasoning and problem solving games using dice in Maths too!
We've been busy builders this week in Year 6 - creating our 'cams' mechanisms. We look forward to showing off the completed product.
We have continued to work together and develop our knowledge in a number of subjects.
A great start back to Year 6 after the half-term break. We have started work on our new topics, including:
Maths - Fractions
Science - Classification of Living Things
History - The Suffragetes
Geography - North America
PE - Tag Rugby
and as seen in the picture above and more below, we are creating newspaper reports on the story of Goldilocks, we even attended the scene of the crime and conducted witness interviews!
In Design and Technology we began researching 'cams toys' and looked at the different components for them.
