Term Six Week 1

It has been wonderful to welcome all the Year 5 and Year 6 children back to school after the half term break ready for the summer term – and for many, their final term at primary school. We are continuing with our geography enquiry about ‘Have we made the world a better place?’ and started reading a book linked with this called ‘Greta and the Giants’.

As readers, we studied the front cover, talked with our learning partners, read the blurb and then made predictions as to what we think the book is all about and if there are any messages from the story.

Year 6 mathematicians are now focussing on developing their investigation skills by working in groups to solve problems: already this week they have shown focus and perseverance in working out challenges together. This week’s challenge had a ‘Grand Prix’ focus!

You will have heard that this year’s production is entitled ‘Rock Bottom’ and it is set in the Stone Age! We have started rehearsals and learning the songs – everyone seems determined to make it a real success. Look at us practising!
