Year 6 - Looking Back and Forth - Friday 11th November 2022

Y6 – Friday  2022 – Looking Back & Forth in Year 6

Looking back:

This week, we have enjoyed a great range of tasks. Shackleton’s Journey has almost been completed and we have enjoyed finding out more about this most difficult of challenges.  Maths has seen us strengthen our number knowledge whilst in PE, we have thoroughly enjoyed the gymnastics and apparatus sessions. Our knowledge of the American states continues with some tasty work from pupils being enjoyed as a little treat.  We are enjoying creating our multi-media presentations about this.  Thank you to all families who gifted donations for the class hampers – lots of delicious goodies were handed in and the children all looked amazing (and so grown up) in their own clothes.  Buddies finished the week with lots of smiles and laughter.  Thank you for your continued support in Year 6.

The class observed the national two-minute silence at 11:00am.  Well done, Year 6.
