Good afternoon all Year 6 parents. It is our maths cafe tomorrow morning - Friday 29th March. We look forward to seeing you all from 9.00am to 10.30am.  We will be using the year 6 base for our cafe so come and find us by using the cookery room door. A forward look: Next Tuesday, Snow Leopards will be undertaking a science investigation that will require tweezers, pliers, kitchen tongs, chopsticks and such similar items. If you have any of these at home, please could your child bring them in for Tuesday. Thank you.

Week beginning 18th March

We've had a lovely week this week. On Wednesday, we drew detailed maps of the Galapagos Islands. Our maps included a scale so that, on Friday (tomorrow), we can do some cross-curricular maths work, calculating distances between the islands. Last week we carried out a science investigation in which we extracted the DNA from strawberries. The children really enjoyed this investigation and worked well, collaboratively. Since then, we have used ICT to type up our investigations. This was a nice way of practising our word processing skills. Below are some photographs of the children carrying out their investigation. In maths, we have been calculating perimeter, area and volume. In English we continue to read Journey to the River Sea and writing in role as the main character. In PE we have been developing movements which depict a variety of animals. We are doing this to The Carnival of the Animals.

Our revision groups have been going very well since starting three weeks ago. The children have been applying their knowledge and skills in a range of different situations in order to secure their understanding. The children in Miss Savory's group particularly enjoy the ' Round the Room' activities, where they can work collaboratively to solve problems.
