In English this week we have been looking at building tension and suspense through sentence length. The children worked well with model texts to look at how this is done effectively before trying it themselves.  In Maths the children have been working on multiplication and how it links to division.  There are some links to some areas of maths on a separate blog that can assist your child in revising some of the topics we have covered this term or revised this term.  Do encourage your child to have a go.

As we head towards the season of Advent, our RE learning explored the context around the time of Jesus’ birth. The children worked in teams to research and then present the information. This was a wonderful opportunity for the class to use their oracy skills.

On Wednesday the children enjoyed the fun swim, which was their final swimming session. We will continue to have PE on on this day until further notice, so kits should still be worn on Tuesdays and Wednesdays.  Today was mad hair day and the class was buzzing with such marvellous creations! The colour of the Year 6 Class Hamper is light blue.

Year 6 have also continued to prepare for the Advent service this week, which takes place on Wednesday 4th December. We look forward to seeing you all there supporting your child in such a special reflection to help prepare us for the birth of Jesus.

Thank you to the Liturgy Group for assisting with our Advent Stars Display which can be seen in the main hall.

Have a wonderful weekend.
