Out of class this week, we performed at the Corn Exchange in the West Norfolk School Sports Partnership Dance Festival! Photos for this can be found in the news tab on the website. In class, we created periscopes at the end of our Science unit on light.
As the sun came out, we experimented with prisms in Science this week!
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.
