What a brilliant effort from everyone in Year 6 this week: we are so proud of how hard you are working and really impressed with the progress you're making in preparation for the SATs assessments after Easter.
Happily, we've also had some lovely sunshine this week, which was a great way to relax after the SATs practice.
Plus, it was great to finish the week with a D I S C O !

Happy Red Nose Day!
Some jokes from Class 6 to start this week's blog:
For the person who created the number zero - thanks for nothing!
Why did the hedgehog cross the road? To see his flat mate...
Knock knock? Who's there? WOO. WOO who? Why are you cheering!!!
On Wednesday we met our new teacher, Mrs Hunnisett, who will be teaching the children every Wednesday, and it was fabulous to see the children being so kind and welcoming.
In Science this week, we have been learning about fossils, and it was wonderful to see the fossils and minerals that Thomas and Eben brought into school to share with the class:
Some of the other highlights from the week include reading the children's beautiful, expressive writing, based on the short novel 'Clockwork' by Philip Pullman and going on the field for orienteering. In computing, we were learning to create a spreadsheet and add data:
Well done to all the class for working hard this week and welcoming their new teachers!

Year 6 Blog – Our First Week Back!
Welcome back, everyone! After a well-deserved February half-term break, Year 6 have jumped straight back into action with lots of exciting learning. Here’s what we’ve been up to in our first week back:
English
We have almost finished reading The Dark Horse, and the suspense is keeping us all on the edge of our seats! This week, we started planning and writing our own chapters, imagining what we think will happen next in the story. Will we predict the ending correctly? Once we finish our own versions, we will finally read the rest of the book to find out!
Maths
This week, we have been sharpening our mental arithmetic skills with lots of practice in addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. These quick-fire calculations are helping us prepare for our mental arithmetic SATs test, and we are feeling more confident every day!
PE
In PE, we have been getting active with gymnastics and football. From perfecting our balance and coordination in gymnastics to improving our teamwork and ball skills in football, we’ve had a fantastic time developing our sporting abilities.
Topic
We have started our brand-new topic: Millions of Years! This fascinating subject takes us on a journey through the entire history of Earth, exploring how our planet has changed over 4.5 billion years. We are already amazed by what we have learned so far and can’t wait to discover more in the weeks ahead!
It’s been a busy but brilliant start to the new half term, and we’re looking forward to all the exciting learning still to come. Keep up the great work, Year 6!

Year 6 Weekly Blog
This week has been an exciting one in Year 6, with lots of great learning and fun activities!
English
We have continued reading The Dark Horse, and the children have been completely hooked. Each chapter has kept them on the edge of their seats, eager to find out what happens next. Their enthusiasm has really shown in their writing, which has been fantastic so far. I can’t wait to see even more great work next week!
Maths
We have now finished our work on algebra, and I am SO impressed with how well everyone has tackled this tricky topic. It has been brilliant to see the class rise to the challenge – well done, Year 6!
Topic
As part of our DT project, we took part in a cooking task this week. The children made spiced corn on the cob and delicious rice and peas, linking to our topic on Jamaica. We also had a special food tasting session, where we got to try a variety of Jamaican foods. These included dried mango and banana, Jamaican spiced cake, patties, jerk sauce, coconut water, and ginger beer. It was great to see everyone trying new flavours and sharing their thoughts on what they liked (or didn’t!).
Well done on another brilliant week, Year 6! Looking forward to seeing what amazing things we have in store for after half term!
