Week Commencing; 16.09.24

We've had a wonderful week in Class 5/6! In English, the children have started to write their own version of Theseus and the Minotaur with a grammar focus of sentence openers (-ed and -ing). In history, we compared our childhood to that of a child growing up in Ancient Greece which was incredibly interesting as there were some similarities e.g. playing board games for entertainment. On Friday afternoon, the children ended the week with a handball session - a lot of fun was had by all! All in all, another busy and productive week where the children have worked incredibly hard.

We've had a lovely week in Class 5/6! In maths, we have started to focus on the place value units for our year groups and the children have impressed me with their knowledge (despite having had 6 weeks off). In science, the children have been looking at classification and more specifically taxonomy. They will be putting their knowledge to the test next week as they have a go at classifying animals themselves using this system. Wednesday mornings are now a firm favourite as the children enjoy both their music and Forest School sessions. Finally, Year 6 met their Little Friends this week which was lovely to see and a definite milestone in their Year 6 journey.

Pupils in Cl 5/6 have started their new history unit on Ancient Greece. They completed an artefact hunt and discovered that people living in that time were great thinkers, writers, politicians and warriors. Linking to this, the class started their English book Greek Myths and in maths looked at Roman Numerals.
