What we have been learning about

1/10/26 Year 6 have had another fantastic week! The children have produced some excellent newspaper reports, showing great effort and using many of the features we have been learning about. In Reading, we have been working hard on retrieval questions, using evidence from the text to find accurate answers. A big well done to all the children for taking part in the sponsored fitness circuit this week.
25/9/26 Year 6 have had another fantastic and busy week! In Maths, we have moved on to exploring negative numbers and have worked hard to apply our understanding to a range of problems. In English, we have been developing our newspaper writing skills and have begun writing our own newspaper reports. In Science, we continued our learning about living things by heading outside to explore our playground and identify the different plants and living organisms we could find in our local environment. Well done, Year 6, for another brilliant week!
18/9/26 Well done, Year 6, for settling into the new school year with such high expectations and a fantastic attitude towards your learning! You have been working incredibly hard in maths, developing your understanding of place value with numbers up to 10 million. In writing, you have produced excellent setting descriptions and should be very proud of all the hard work and effort you have put into them. Keep up the great work, Year 6!
