Our awesome Year 6 children have really had a great first half term. They have made the team incredibly proud and really have been a joy to learn with. We have laughed a lot and had lots of fun settling into our new routines and getting to know each other. 

We’d like to celebrate the progress all of the children have made in their learning during the Autumn Term. It has been so good to see them really apply themselves and take on board feedback.

Our booster classes were a real success and we would like to thank the children who attended for working so hard. Some of the children came to 2 extra sessions a week. We celebrated their learning and progress with a hot chocolate after the last session. More sessions will be offered this term, there will be 6 sessions to attend, more information to follow.

In English we have loved reading War Horse and Archie’s War. The children’s writing has really improved as they are continuing to develop their year 6 writing skills. Highlights were the debates we had about whether women should be allowed to sign up to fight in the war effort, the children’s narrative writing from the point of view of Fredrich, their letter home from the trenches to name a few.

In Maths the children have been so resilient. They have remembered lots of knowledge from previous years and have been able to use this to access the year 6 curriculum. Their minds were blown by long division but we were so proud of how the children kept going and really understood this concept by the end of the week. The children have really enjoyed our maths code breaking activities where they have to solve various problems using their maths knowledge to crack the code. It has been great to see them working together.
