P6b have been absolutely immersed in the rainforest this week!

We began by researching and investigating key facts about specific areas of the many rainforests around the world. From the monkeys on the tree tops to the tigers on the forest floor, we thoroughly investigated the forest with a fine tooth comb!

Once we investigated we were then able to begin planning to write an information text. We were careful to ensure that we considered whether our notes were thorough or concise and precise, making sure that each specific subject was headed by a punchy sub-heading whilst using a ruler to make it legible and neat.

Presently, most of us are in the process of responding to marking so as our work is presented to the best possible standard.

In maths, this week, we have been looking at the importance of place value and using this knowledge to help us with essential arithmetic operations. We have also been looking at 2-digit by 2-digit multiplication and the many strategies which can help us with this.

We were all very excited to be given our first reading books of the new academic year; these will continue to be given as part of our home learning this coming Wednesday.

As part of our home learning, the children have been tasked with exploring why they think they’d be suited to representing their class on student council. Canvassing will begin next week as will the election.

Key information:

1. Monday and Tuesday are PE days; please bring a relevant kit and shoes.
2. Home learning will be handed out on Wednesdays to be returned the following Monday

It’s been a lovely start to the year with P6b and the children are really enjoying their learning, well done on another super week!
