Remembrance Day

Today we marked Remembrance Day in school with coming together for moments of reflection as a year group in the Main Hall. We shared at work completed in class and a prayer we wrote together.

We then joined in the national two minutes silence at 11am to remember those who have lost their lives during war.

Maths – Fractions!

Hi everyone! Welcome back to school! We hope that you have had a fantastic half term holiday.

As we come back to school we are starting our fractions unit in maths. We will be doing a lot of work on fractions in the next few weeks!

Today we started by learning about equivalent fractions and how to simplify fractions. This is a really important area of the maths curriculum and it would be great if you could quiz the children at home!

Here is Mr Clayton working with some children using pizza slices to find fractions equivalents.

Black History Month

October is Black History Month and this week in 6C we learnt all about the HMT Empire Windrush and the so-called ‘Windrush Generation’ who were the first wave of migrants who came to Great Britain after the Second World War.

Here are some examples of the amazing fact files that the children have made to showcase their learning about the important event in modern British history.

Adel Woods Trip

In Week 2, we went on a local area visit to Adel Woods, which is part of the Meanwood Valley Trail. This is part of our Year 6 curriculum and ties into our current reading, geography and science work in class.

The children had a great time exploring the woodland in our local area, improving their geography field skills and identifying plants and animals that are present in our local area. We also collected leaves which we brought back to school and used them to support our work on classification in science!
