Year 6 - Spring 2 - Week 4

This week has absolutely raced by! Year 6 continue to work incredibly hard and have made so many improvements as a result.
In English, alongside our SPaG and reading comprehension practice, we enjoyed warming up for lessons by exploring a magical ‘Where’s the Unicorn?’ search-and-find book. Much like a ‘Where’s Wally?’ challenge, the children had to carefully scan each busy page to locate the hidden unicorns. We were particularly impressed by the rich vocabulary used throughout the book, including words such as unbridled, tranquil, entice and expedition. As well as being good fun, the activity helped us practise our scanning skills in terms of quickly searching a text or image to find specific information.
In Maths, we made the most of the sunshine at the end of the week with a place value scavenger hunt outside. After a week of working hard on arithmetic, algebra and mean averages, the class enjoyed applying their maths skills in a more active way. In teams, pupils searched for hidden clues and solved place value challenges around the playground, showing great teamwork, resilience and mathematical thinking. A brilliant way to celebrate a week of focused learning!
We also enjoyed playing Kinball on the school field in the sunshine for PE. This particular game, with similarities to handball (whilst using football goals), required pupils to work together to move up the pitch before attempting to score by getting the Kinball into the goal. Great fun with solid teamwork, communication and laughter throughout!
In Collective Worship, we have especially enjoyed practising ‘He Lives in You’, which gave us flashbacks to our own Easter Service in Year 3. We are looking forward to the Easter Service next week where our backing vocals will hopefully have a special impact within the service at St. Peter’s Church.
A rapid week and we hope the sunshine continues into the weekend and beyond. Enjoy!
