What happens to the arrow when it’s behand a glass of water?  We found out in our refraction investigation. Blocks and filters have also helped us understand the properties of light.

Year 6 visited Duxford Imperial War Museum as part of their learning around World War II. They were fascinated by the co-ordination stations that were used by England to strategise their approaches to the war effort and to seek victory. Our day at Duxford was the highlight this half term.  Planes, planes and more plane!  It was a great experience.

Year 6 spent time looking at different European languages for "European Day of Languages".  To begin, we asked them to select any word.  Then on their IPads, they researched how to say the same word in several different European languages.  Finally, they created a poster on Purple Mash and uploaded it to TEAMs.  This was a completely independent activity with many websites and applications needing to be accessed.  They all did incredibly well, with some spectacular outcomes!

We have started the year excited to be in year 6 and working together to improve all our skills. We have been enjoying reading “The Journey” in English and imagining the context of the story. We also created our own “tableaus” to help engage with the emotion of the characters in the story.

During Mathematics, we have used Cuisenaire rods to help contextualize concepts such as equal/unequal, part/whole and multiplicative/additive.
