Year 6 - Summer 2 - Week 1

Date: 5th Jun 2024 @ 11:25am

We are now in our final half-term of primary school!

Since SATs, we have embarked on a rather exciting mathematical venture…designing a theme park! The children had to work together in small groups to design the layout of their park based on the costings of amenities and ride types and ensuring they meet all health and safety requirements, such as including the minimum number of toilets and park benches required. They also had to apply their mathematical knowledge by calculating the running and advertising costs and – from there – deciding on entrance admission fees to ensure they make a profit. The children then presented their ideas, including posters and trailers, and were assessed on their creativity, likelihood of success and business acumen. The children have absolutely LOVED this project and it has been a joy to see them so enthusiastic about completing each task – whilst learning new vocabulary such as ‘marketing’, ‘revenue’, ‘expenditure’ and ‘profit’!

As authors, we have produced another piece of work in our author books. The focus was how to advance the narrative of a story through dialogue, which was tricky as it required the children to revise their understanding of how to include dialogue and then how to advance a story through the conversation. 

In Art, we reminded ourselves who Vincent Van Gogh was and focused on his piece, ‘The Starry Night’. The children used paint to create their own versions of the artwork and their finished pieces were great. Well done, Year 6!

To conclude the week, the children enjoyed their ‘Rainbow Day’. Thank you, Team TSP, for organising such a great day.

A special ‘well done’ to those children who represented the school as part of our tri-golf team and also debate team. They were excellent ambassadors for Trinity St. Peter’s!

Please ensure you have checked School Spider regarding our upcoming trip to Alton Towers.

Have a great weekend, everyone!
