What a fantastic start to the year! Year 6 have shown fantastic resilience and determination with sitting their 11+ this week and we are very proud of them for their efforts in this. They have approached our learning with an excellent attitude and have been trying their hardest in all curriculum areas. We could not have asked for more from them. 

English

To link with our History topic on WWII and specifically 'What it was like for Children in WWII', we have started our class book Goodnight Mr Tom. The class very much enjoyed immersing themselves in the book and learning about the key characters, Mr Tom and Willie.  We have used our knowledge from our history lessons about evacuees to write a first person account from the perspective of a child in WWII. 

Maths 

We have started our first maths unit on place value. Specifically, we have been looking at numbers to 10 million and we have been looking at estimating numbers on a number line when the end and start points vary and when the number of intervals changes. 

Well done Year 6 for a fantastic start to the term.
