Another busy half term in Year 6...

It's been another jam-packed half-term full of lots of new learning and exciting events. We were delighted to be able to launch the Year 6 'Reading Challenge' with a new partner based format and some new books to delve into. I must say I am extremely proud of how the children have tackled the challenge, with all children completing their first book and some moving on to multiple 'bonus' books. They couldn't put their books down and have been reading them at break times. The children created some lovely, insightful reviews about their books - check out our Twitter feed for some examples.

We had an interesting afternoon learning about the real-life story of a Jewish refugee from WW", and the children created some fantastic Learning Logs on the 'Home Front'. Linked to this as our end of Science SITE project we made some WW1 style periscopes which were a great success.

The children have also been tackling some tricky fraction and perimeter problems in maths. They have shown great perseverence and determination in their work and I am very proud of them.

You have earnt a well-deserved break over Christmas Year 6. Have a happy holiday and I look forward to seeing you in the New Year.
