Year 6 - Week in Review - Friday 19th January 2018

Year 6 - Week in Review - Friday 19th January 2017

Our first full week back in school and everyone's settled in brilliantly.  Lots going on in Year 6 this week.  Our English lessons have seen us working very hard on crafting a biography about Charles Maxim - one of the main characters in our new story.  We're working on presenting these and publishing them to the very best of our ability.  These are available for you to see under our "Display Work Items" link.  We really hope you enjoy - and are impressed by - them.

In maths, we've been working with numbers up to 7-digits again, and practising our BODMAS rules, whilst in P.E. Mrs. Cowell was helping us to improve our hockey skills.  Our work for Mrs. Benson included listening to a selection of classical music.

It's been a great week. 

Next week, we're hoping to hand over the weekly review to the pupils again. 

Let's hope they'll have some enjoyable events to write about next week.
