Year 6 – Thursday 2nd April learning

Good morning. We’re fast approaching the end of Week 2, and so at the halfway stage this week, let’s look at the leaderboard.

Readtheory: 1st Giovanna, 2nd Mikey, 3rd Maks

Prodigy: 1st Elysia, 2nd Jude, 3rd Matthew A

Duolingo: 1st Alex, 2nd William, 3rd Louise

I’ll post at the end of Friday who the winners are for the week, so you have 2 days to climb the leaderboard!

Maks sent a photo of his completed maths maze from yesterday’s maths learning. Excellent, Maks – those are some very tiny fractions you’ve worked out there!

Louise has been busy baking banana bread; it looks very enticing and has given me cake cravings! Well done, Louise.
