A Minecraft Mansion

         

After a week of testing, Year Six worked together in a team to find out how many blocks they would need to collect to build a Minecraft Mansion in a multi-step problem. This was a wonderful activity for the children to act as Maths coaches to understand what makes a good leader and challenge them to make sure everyone in the group participated. The Maths coaches reminded the children to take turns, listen actively and they encouraged children to share their opinions one at a time. After an hour of calculating and solving how many blocks were needed for the walls, roof, floors, windows and garden, the children presented their findings to the class, practising one of their essential skills (presenting).

6MR Emma Watson biographies

In September, Year 6 were busy researching the life of Emma Watson. The children were amazed and inspired by her achievements so far and thoroughly enjoyed writing their own biographies about her life and achievements.

Below are some of the finished final drafts from children in 6MR. Some truly stunning writing! They have been tweeted to Emma Watson herself too! We'll have to wait to see if we get a reply...
