Week commencing 11th September 2023
Week 2 was another fabulous week! A big focus this week has been the house captain elections. The results were tight and many children were disappointed but gracious in their defeat. I want to congratulate everyone that stood up and gave a speech showing what it means to REACH in Faith, Hope and Love. Well done to all our knew captains – I can’t wait to see you in action.
In Maths, our place value work has continued and they have worked hard to be able to order and compare 7 digit numbers. The children are getting much better at explaining their thoughts and reasoning relating to questions thinking of the moto that the answer is only the beginning. We are going to be moving on to decimals next week.
In English we have started writing our non-chronological report writing which the children have really enjoyed. Our main focus is on expanded noun phrases and relative clauses. The children have been working hard to show me that they can recognise and use both of these.
Take a look at our week two pictures for our First Aid REACH activity - this week was stings and bites.
Next week we look forward to the School Council speeches and officially meeting our reception buddies!
Week commencing 4th September 2023
What a great first week we had! They have all settled in so well to Year 6! We have been hard at work already this week – always REACHing in all we do.
In Maths, we have focused on place value and 7 digit numbers as a reminder to all children as this underpins much of their maths knowledge.
In English, we have started our first journey linked to non-chronological reports. The children have investigating reports; they have written some and retold one too (see some of the pictures!).
They enjoyed our REACH activity on Friday where we are focusing in on first aid through using St John’s Ambulance resources.
On Friday, they had the opportunity to be involve in inflatable football which everyone enjoyed!
There are some pictures uploaded of them creating natural images to represent their ‘circle of people’ and who is in it, and also some team building games.
We are looking forward to the house captain speeches and buddies in the next few weeks. Some of the year 6 children will also start writing the blog too!
