Hi everyone,
Our week started with a fantastic array of odd socks to celebrate what makes us all unique as part of Anti-Bullying Week.
Lots of great descriptive writing has been taking place as the children wrote a setting description of a Victorian Street. Once again, they have been using an amazing range of vocabulary that they have learned from reading Street Child and their other topic based work.
The week ended with everyone dressed in their own clothes with a contribution made to Children in Need.
Have a lovely, long weekend!
See you on Monday

Hi,
Preparations for the Christmas production began this week with the first singing practice of the production songs. It was lovely to sing in a bigger group again and the Year 6 choir are looking forward to singing to parents as part of the Key Stage Two performance of The Snow Queen.
Everyone completed their reports on Victorian workhouses. I have been particularly impressed with the range of vocabulary used and that words we have discussed in class have been used appropriately in the reports.
Fractions remains the focus in my maths group. Once again, the children have shown real resilience and increased accuracy in their calculations and problems solving and are skilful in assisting each other if they find aspects of the work more difficult.
Enjoy the weekend.

Hi,
A great start to the half-term which started with our allocated time with the music teacher. The children enjoyed learning a range of songs and are looking forward to practising the Christmas production songs.
Our writing genre is report writing so the children have been learning lots about Victorian workhouses and the dreadful conditions that people lived in. The children will be producing a detailed report about this next week. The challenge in my maths group this week was solving complex fractions reasoning problems. Although the work was tricky it was great to see the resilience in how the children approached the task.
Year 6 completed the democratic process of voting for the Chairperson and Communications of the School Council. Congratulations to Harley and Finlay!
Enjoy the bonfire weekend!
