We have been that busy that we have forgotten to update our blog in a while… So here is the latest news from Year 6…

In English, we have been writing diary entries from the perspective of a boy who decided to move out of home and into his tree-house. We have been learning to use chatty vocabulary and higher level punctuation. We then learned how to write a eyewitness recount, inspired by a sneaky scene that Mrs Hartwell set up behind our backs with the help of Miss Quinn and some Year 5’s.

In Maths, we have been working really hard on percentages, decimals, fractions, angles and co-ordinates: It has been very challenging but we all feel very proud with our improving skills and knowledge. Talking of Maths, we found out Henryk had got through to the next stage of the Primary Maths Challenge, which he entered on Wednesday, so we would like to congratulate him for getting this far and keep our fingers crossed for his results of this one.

In Science, we have been learning about how the eye works; in Geography we have been learning the stages of the water cycle; in Art we have been practicing our sketching skills; in Music we have been writing our own songs; in PE we have been putting together our own Boxercise routines and in RE we had a visit from Father Michael who talked to us about his vocation and have been learning about the Pope, Archbishop and our parish, All Souls.

This was our final week of cycling proficiency- we have all really enjoyed this opportunity and learned a lot. Thank you to all of our cycling teachers and well done to everyone who has improved their cycling skills. Some of us are even taking part in the Level 3 course, taking place in the half term.

Finally, we would like to give Ben, Michael and Jordan a huge round of applause for coming second in the Primary Schools Debate. They are through to the finals, which take place in March. Well done!
