Thanks to Mr Campbell, all of the school took part in a circuit training session today - to compete for their houses.
As part of our Humanities topic, Year 6 have been looking at possible locations for an air raid shelter in the school grounds. Once these were spotted, they started to plan what their shelters should look like - inside and out. In Maths, Year 6 spent the lesson working together to solve number problems, thinking carefully about multiplication tables and patterns. In the afternoon, Year 6 looked at WW2, arranging a timeline and then trying to answer a question about Joe's cake. (Why could Joe not have a cake for his 10th birthday in April 1944?) For this, they had to organise and sort information, discuss which reasons might be most important and come up with their own hypothesis (which appears to be a rather tricky word). Year 6 have been conducting a traffic survey this morning. They have measured the speed of cars passing by, have counted the number of vehicles passing and started to think about possible distractions motorists experience. In Maths, we are working on problem solving and mental maths skills this week. We started off by working on a problem, which required us to organise and combine information effectively to answer a question. |
