Term Six Week 2

Thursday 13 June 2024

It has been a busy week (again!) in school with rehearsals for our Y5/Y6 production well underway!

As Uphill citizens, our Y6 learners continue to lead weekly council crew sessions with a range of younger children from across the academy. This week’s focus was discussing the question ‘ Why should we be fair to  everyone?’. The Y6 council crew leaders expertly led the discussions by giving model example suggestions and encouraged all crew members to contribute.

Part of being a mathematician is being able to problem solve both independently and working with a group. This week, our children had to be ‘detectives’ solving number problems by identifying prime and square numbers as well as finding factors.

In English, we have been developing our editing skills as writers and you can see us here using our purple pens to make effective changes to our persuasive speeches which were written inspired by the environmental activist Greta Thunberg.

Following this, we then worked in pairs or triads to film our speeches as if we were addressing world leaders ( just like Greta does!)
