Our learning this week

This week in maths, we have been learning to do division with and without remainders.

In English, our focus has been poetry looking at works by the BAME poet John Agard. We have looked specifically at his poem Windrush Child we have thought about the images he creates with his words.. we have also had a go at performing his poem and writing one of our own.


Why not listen to the poem https://vimeo.com/34658318 and watch one of our performances see below







In Art, we have designed and painted our Viking shields here is one example.

The children have been given their logins for Google classroom where they will find their homework and learning should the school be in a lockdown or a child finds themselves in isolation. Please make sure you make a note of their usernames and password - maybe take a photo with your phone.

The children have been shown how to access their learning and there is an initial task to be completed by the 31st October.

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.
