Hi,
In English this week we did some more work on features of a biography and started writing our introductions about Dr Thomas Barnardo.
In maths, Miss Bairstow's group have been adding and subtracting mixed numbers and Mrs Trotter's group have been looking at equivalent fractions.
In topic, we learnt about Victorian punishments (we are very grateful after that lesson that we live in 2025!).
In PSHE, we discussed the importance of tolerance and respect.
Have fun at the Christmas Fayre tomorrow - sadly I can't make it but I am hoping I win a raffle prize!
Have a lovely weekend :)

Hello,
A shorter week this week to make room for our training day tomorrow.
In English, we have been researching Dr Thomas Barnardo and starting to write biographies.
In maths, Miss Bairstow's group have been adding and subtracting fractions and Mrs Trotter's group have finished multiplying and dividing by 10, 100 and 1000 and have also moved onto fractions.
In topic, following on from our amazing "jigsaw" work on child labour in the Victorian era, we learnt about the inspirational people who helped change children's lives. See the images below to have a look at our "jigsaw" posters we created in our lessons before and after half term (unfortunately I forgot to take the pictures before they were on the wall!).
Have a great long weekend!
Miss Bairstow :)

Hello,
Another busy week in Year 6!
We have been busy researching Dr Thomas Barnardo in English as we prepare to write biographies about him and his work with poor Victorian children.
In maths, my group have continued learning about fractions while Mrs Trotter's group have been focusing on square and cube numbers and multiplying and dividing by 10, 100 and 1000.
Lots of children have taken part in extra curricular activities or represented the school this week too with cross country on Thursday, a cinema trip on Friday and parent show arounds as part of open day on Thursday! Busy, busy, busy!
Have a lovely weekend.
Miss Bairstow :)
