 Task 1 - Anti-racism protests: how do you feel about the protests? Some members of the government have said that racism is an American problem, not a British one. Do you agree or disagree? Watch what Raheem Sterling has to say and what children in America are saying.

Some people around the UK, including teachers, are saying that we need to change the curriculum so that we teach more black history throughout the year (and teach that black history isn't just slavery). What do you think?

 Task 2 - It's Empathy Day! Pick one of the activities here: Empathy Day

Have a great day! We're really looking forward to seeing you at school tomorrow! If you've been told you're in Mr Town's group, you should arrive at 8:45am. If you've been told you're in Ms Tupman's group, you should arrive at 9am. If you're not sure whose group you're in, check the letter we emailed you on Friday!

    Ok so I disagree with the government because we have had racism all around the world and there are millions of people in the UK too have be racist about people who have different skin.
    So the government are wrong it effects everyone because if u have cousin's in America or in minneapolis you would be worried bc imagine if it was one them it could of been but lucky it's not. But it has a huge impact on the world 🌎 and we have.to do something to change it even if u live the UK we have to work together and try and stop this even if u can't stop all of it just try and make a difference.Even a tiny difference it will still change the world.

      What a brilliant comment, Amira! I agree: even small changes can change the world.

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.
