Hi everyone! We have all settled back into school and we are loving laughing and learning with our friends again. Here is an update on what we have been doing.
Maths
In Maths the circles have been learning about angles, time, long multiplication and distance/speed/time. The squares have been learning about fractions, time and decimals. The triangles have been learning about function machines, focusing on number skills and practising times tables.
Literacy
We have been learning new spelling rules since we have returned and in grammar we have learned about prefixes, adverbs, paragraphs, punctuation and auxiliary verbs. In writing we have written Spring poems, created Earth Day posters, learned how to take concise notes and written a letter begging world leaders to help to save our planet. We are also focusing on our listening skills and we all presented a talk to the class based on our topic ‘The Victorians’. We are finishing our novel study too and visit the school library weekly to encourage our reading for pleasure.
Religious
We focused on the Easter story prior to the holidays and created our own drama from this. We recently learned about Saint Bernadette and Saint George. This term we are going to be learning about World Religions and creating a PowerPoint to record our learning. The pupils in our class who practise another faith will be giving us a detailed presentation about their beliefs.
We have been completing lots of group tasks in class too such as K’Nex challenges. We really enjoyed creating Ferris wheels, water wheels and a carousel together. This term our topic will be based around Rights Respecting Schools lessons which we are looking forward to. In ICT we have been coding and using the Chromebooks for research. In PE we have been playing really fun games like touchdown and American tag. We are going to be focusing on stamina and athletics this term. We enjoy voting for sport’s person of the week. This week we can’t wait to return to the forest for outdoor learning which will happen every fortnight this term.
Thanks for taking the time to read about my learning!
The pupils of P6B
