Term 1 Maths

We began learning about Place Value in Maths last week. To start with, we revisited some key skills which we will need to use this term. We did this through a carousel of activities. The most popular activity was Place Value Castles!

We used the dienes to build castles and calculated the value of our castles. Because we didn't have many thousand blocks, but had plenty of hundred squares, we had some great conversations around equivalence. We'll definitely have to repeat this activity when we come to revisit decimals!

Term 6 - Music Week

 For Music Week, we listened to 'The Carnival of the Animals'. Year 6 focused on 'The Aviary'. After discussing the piece of music, we looked at images of birds and then collaborated as a table to create our own bold, beautiful birds. Don't they look great?

Term 6 - Writing Day

 We loved celebrating National Writing Day this year! It was really interesting to think about how authors and illustrators work together to tell a story, and we have made a fantastic class book full of stories about our proudest moments.  We also liked taking part in the challenges which came over the walkie-talkie during the day! A particular favourite was 'write your name in fancy'.
