Maths Week

What a busy week it's been for Year 6! Not only have we been busy writing some fantastic discussion texts, going for our weekly swimming lesson, and getting ready for the end of term, but we've also been working hard to prepare for the Maths Fair at the end of Maths Week!


We had a LOT of fun designing and making games for the fair. We even upcycled some of the leftovers from the summer fair! 


Putting the boxes our practice SATs papers came in to good use!


Everyone worked together in small groups.



Making 'Pin the tie on Mr Burton'!


Lots of us mixed our own shades of paint, going for a real bespoke look!



We were feeling the pressure, but luckily Miss Heeley came to help us out!


We were so proud of ourselves when we saw our finished stall!


Now...which class raised the most money?

Term 6 - Language Skills

Year 6 have been practising their -ant, -ance, -ancy and -ent, -ence and -ency spellings recently. One fun way we found to practise was by playing a matching game. Children had to turn over a word card and a definition card and see if they matched. If they did, the children had to try to spell the word without looking at the card. If they were correct, they kept the pair of cards. The winner was the player with the most pairs!

Term 6 - Writing

 In literacy lessons, we have been learning about part of S. F. Said's book, 'Phoenix'. We read an edited version of the first chapter, and over the next few weeks, created our own action stories based on that.

Term 5 - More Maths

 We used the double-sided counters to explore the game of Nim-7 . We enjoyed working out if there was a way of always winning, whether you were Player 1 or Player 2.  Once we'd explored that, we started asking ourselves other questions: "What would happen if we had an even number of counters?" "What if you could take more counters at a time?" "What if you used the same rules, but played with more people?" Each group picked a question to investigate further, and started to think about how to record what they had found out. Year 6 worked well in partnership with each other and really thought deeply about the maths behind the investigation.
