Year 6 - Spring 2 - Week 3
Date: 10th Mar 2023 @ 11:22am
A week full of visitors and even some snow! It has been very busy indeed.
In Maths, the children in Mr King’s group developed their understanding of how to interpret pie charts before moving onto angles. Next week, they will be moving onto perimeter, area and volume. Mrs Martin’s group focused on volume this week and will be moving onto angles next week.
In PE, the children have continued with their swimming sessions. Having worked on swimming at least 50m of front crawl and backstroke without stopping, we moved onto breaststroke this week. Next week, the children will be developing their survival skills; parents should have received a message via School Spider regarding additional clothing required for next session. Friday’s tag rugby sessions saw the children continuing to practise their passing and tagging skills and starting to learn the rules of the game. The latter is difficult to master straight away so we were very impressed with the children’s efforts in this.
On the topic of sports, a special ‘well done’ to our school’s football team, who played St. Gregory’s Primary School on Tuesday and emerged victorious.
Friday was a very special day as the children came into a snow-covered school. From previous experiences, we know this is the kind of the day the children never forget and so we certainly capitalised on the weather. The children had great fun on Friday morning taking part in snowball fights and building snowmen. Please make sure you check out our class Twitter page for all the photos!
The class have had many visitors this week, from student teachers at both Edge Hill University and Liverpool Hope University - to Y10 students on work experience from Formby High School. We are very grateful for the support they have been able to offer lots of children in class; all the visitors have also been very impressed with the work ethic and manners of our pupils. This is always great to hear!
The children are aware of their homework for this week and their weekly spellings have been set on Google Classroom as usual. Please do also encourage your child to also work through the practice assessments set on SATs Companion.
Have a great weekend, everyone!
