If you haven't already watched it, then we'd recommend that you watch Newsround's special programme on racism - we watched it and discussed it this week at school.

The Friday Maths Challenge is a bit different this week... BBC Bitesize have teamed up with Premier League Primary Stars to bring you some football-themed activities!

Head over to this page and watch the video, then read the information in Parts A and B.

After that, have a go at the quiz (Activity 1).

Then, try answering these questions (you can choose whether to attempt Level 1, 2 or 3).

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.
