above are some useful links for you to take part in. They are happening daily. Take part in as many as you can!

missing you all

Miss Webster

Welcome back to the P6 blog.

We have had another busy and exciting week this week.

In maths we have been learning about factors. Factors are when numbers work together to solve a problem. We were working in pairs to find factor pairs.

In literacy we have been continuing our work on characterisation. we were focussing on body language and finding ways to tell a reader how a character is feeling. We acted our different feelings using our body language and the class had to guess what we were trying to show.

Finally some of the girls in our class have been keeping a secret from Miss Webster for some time now. It is her birthday tomorrow and they planned a surprise party for her! They bought gifts, balloons, banners, food and drinks for the class to enjoy. It was amazing!

see you next week!

Morning everyone.

Can I ask that you bring your P.E kit to school on Mondays and WEDNESDAYS from now on.

We have had a change to our Yoga schedule and will be instructed on Wednesday mornings for the rest of this term and not Tuesday afternoon.

Hello this is Arisha,Hanna and Zara

We has been learning so much over the past couple of weeks that MissWebster has forgotten to keep you updated. Luckily, we are here to save the day!

Ben has ben telling stories about enslaved and freedom. We painted a picture about what we thought freedom is. Some of these things are fireworks and birds being freed from their cage

We had to make statues of what we thought freedom is and we had different categories and had to create them.

We had to work with a partner and one was the controller and the other had to follow their hand.

We had samba with Mr McCormack and we were marching with the drums and the pulse and some tambirines and bells.We went outside and were marching with our music we went around the school and showed our beautiful talent!We thought we were amazing and had nothing to hide!It was really fun  and exciting to express  our fabulous talent and hard work of samba.Here are some photos of our work:

Moving on to Maths!

This week in maths we have been looking at fractions of a quantity.It was quite hard at first but our amazing teacher Miss Webster explained it all to us.Here are some examples of what we did!

Thanks for listening 🙂

Welcome back to the P6 blog!

Thanks for reading 🙂

Miss Webster and P6

Homework will be changing slightly for term three.

Each week your child will receive ten spelling words in their red spelling jotter. They must copy each word 3 times, write a sentence for each and then complete the 3rd spelling challenge which will be written in their jotter each Monday.

Your child will also be given weekly maths homework sheets to be completed. This can be completed either on the sheet or in their green jotter if they need space to show working.

All pupils should still be reading their own book of choice each night (they may borrow from the school if they like) and any additional research or task related homework will be given out when appropriate.

Homework is still due on Thursdays

Any questions please just ask 🙂

Thanks

Miss Webster

Welcome back everybody!

Hope you all had a lovely break and are excited to be back in P6 for 2020!

This term we are learning lots of new things.

In maths we will be studying Fractions, Decimals and Percentages. If you want to practise this at home please see the top marks website for some games and quizzes.

In literacy we will be studying Poetry and Characterisation. We will be writing our own poems and stories using our incredible imaginations!

To start this topic off Miss Webster set us all the challenge of using our most impressive and detailed adjectives. We chose a name of a person in our class and we had to describe them as best as we could. Our aim was to get the whole class to correctly guess who we were describing.

For example:

“My person has very, very ,very long hair. She plays Roblox and she wears glasses” – Aamna was of course describing Chantel

“She has a big smile, she wears hairbands, she’s taller than Hubaib, she’s a big fan of Big Boss” – Aliyan is describing Simmal.

“She loves fashion, she’s sometimes strict, she loves to shop and she loves hot drinks like coffee and tea.”- Zaynab described Maria

“Her hair smells very nice, she’s small, she wears her hair in a ponytail and she runs with her sister”- Antony is describing Aamna.

We will be studying poetry next week.

Our IDL topic this year will be Slavery. We know so far that Slavery began in 1619 and it began in America.

We are excited to learn more about this

Our PE days are still Monday and Tuesday but both will take place on the MUGA so be sure to pack warm and appropriate gym clothes. We will be studying circuits and athletics.

We will keep you updated on all of our learning adventures!
