Year 6 - Looking Back and Forth - Friday 17th March 2023
Y6 – Friday 17th March 2023 – Looking Back & Forth in Year 6
Looking back:
This week, we have really enjoyed learning about Skara Brae and the children have made some fantastic models to represent their learning. They have also been studying the Beaker people and the Bronze Age – what an interesting topic. Hockey continues to be our focus for PE on Fridays and we’ve also enjoyed the topic of pie charts in maths. We know how to look for the number represented by the chart and we can calculate a range of percentages to show data. Carnegie Hall has been the focus for our English work, whilst the class enjoyed working in groups to record their musical compositions. It was also a little dark in class as the torches and black-out blinds allowed our pupils to investigate light experiments. Another busy and eclectic week in Year 6.
