Year 6 Latest News
Thu 11 Nov 2021This week in Year 6 we have been learning about Remembrance and why it is important. We have been looking at the famous poem 'In Flanders Fields' and why it means so much to so many people. The children have been really respectful and demonstrated great maturity when taking part in the two minutes silence on Remembrance Day. In maths we have been busy consolidating our understanding of factors, multiples, prime, square and cubed numbers. It has really highlighted how important times tables are. We would like to say a huge thank you to Mr Mercer for coming into school and talking to us about being a driving instructor and letting us explore the modified car.
