ARCHIVED Year 6 Blog

 What a sad day as the children will never be taught Geography again by Mrs Gregory. 😰 Today, we recapped using six-figure grid references using stepping stones over a river. A quick recap was needed to remind the children to break the square into tenths or think of the number as a decimal number to find the six numbers from the map.  A great lesson. Mrs Gregory will miss you all. 

 Year 6 revised numbers 1-100.they then used a help mat to help them to complete a number crossword puzzle. 

Our Year 6s worked really hard in preparing their stalls throughout Thursday and Friday. From 2:45-3:30 the children sold their items and manned their stalls brilliant. They showed brilliant teamwork, mathematical ability and selling nouse. A huge thanks to all of the parents that came out and supported our pupils. They will go away next week and work on their business plans and analyse their efforts to sell again on Thursday. 

 As part of the Famous Fashions unit,Year 6 used a combination of air dry clay and air dough to create a mini converse shoe. They enjoyed using these two different types of clay. Some children used felt tips to add  colour to the white air dough. I’m really impressed with their designs. 

 This week the children in Year have been doing their personal challenges. This week they have been focusing on the Gurnard Mile track (201m) and the vortex. The children were competing against their previous scores taken in October. Already we’ve seen some brilliant improvements throughout the year, with pupils running 8 seconds quicker and throwing over 10 metres farther.  Well done to all of the pupils on their impressive improvements. 

 Year 6 sang the  numbers to 100 and identified multiples of 10 which they then wrote down in order. They then played a strip lotto game, listening out for a multiple of 10 which they then tore off. They winner was left with no number.
