September / October 2023

The Year Six children have had an extremely busy start to the term!

Below are some pictures illustrating what we’ve been up to.  

During English, we have been recapping numerous language features from prepositional phrases and subordinate clauses to cohesive devices within and between paragraphs. All these important language features will be helping the Year Six children plan and write a newspaper report about a crime that has taken place … the missing Maya masks. We have been using our detective skills to work out the culprit, but the mystery is still unsolved!

We have also been conquering fractions. The children have shown resilience and ambition during some challenging mathematical concepts, which has been wonderful to see.

On top of this, we have been learning about the circulatory system in science. The children have been using their knowledge of healthy eating to create posters. We will soon be using this information to design and carry out an investigating about exercise and our heart rates.

The children should be extremely proud of their achievements this term!

Morality Tales

Last month, the children in Year Six had the opportunity to read their recently written morality tales to a Year Three child. They were so excited, and it was lovely to see the Year Six students proud of their final drafts. Well done to the Year Three children for their listening skills!

Animal Poetry

During the autumn term, we wrote some poems about UK animals. Recently we have created some artwork to accompany them. Examples of work by Eduard, Tayla, Lucia, Matilda, Maisey & Isaac.

The Island - Descriptive Writing

As part of our Transition Work, Year Seven English teachers have provided some work for us to complete based upon an extract from 'Lord of the Flies'. Looking at these, a number of our Year Six pupils are well-placed for moving to Year Seven!
