A thoughtful week of reading, maths learning and celebrating books across the school.
What a fantastic week we’ve had in Year 6!
We have continued reading Once by Morris Gleitzman, and the children have been fully invested in Felix’s journey. We’ve had discussions about bravery, hope and how the characters are changing as the story unfolds.
In maths, we started our new unit on decimals. Year 6 have been learning how to read, write and compare decimal numbers. We’ve also been practising how decimals link to fractions, which really helped support understanding.
As part of our PSHE work, the children made their own worry stones. They carefully designed and decorated them, thinking about colours and patterns that help them feel calm. We discussed how worry stones can be used to help manage emotions and offer comfort when feeling stressed or overwhelmed.
On Thursday was World Book Day! We started the day with a whole-school assembly where everyone had the chance to show off their brilliant costumes. Afterwards, we spent time reading with the Reception children, sharing stories and helping them enjoy their books.
In the afternoon, the class took part in a book swap. Everyone who brought in a book was able to choose a new one to take home and enjoy!
