Fri 06 Feb 2026Rain, rain, rain. Hopefully better weather next week so we can be outside for breaks and P.E. Year three have finished their own narratives this week based on the structure of our class novel The Black Rock. We have moved on the measuring and perimeter in maths, so the children were getting to grips with using a ruler and the difference between mm, cm and m. Tag rugby and netball continued however netball was inside but still very fun and competitive. We have researched the scientist Michael Faraday, the man who discovered electromagnetism in our science lessons and started to complete our Roman shields.

Year 6 News
Fri 30 Jan 2026This week, in English, Y6 have been finding out about Anne Frank, how WW2 affected her and why she is still remembered today. We will be using this research to write our own biographies about her. Also linked to WW2, we have been learning about the Holocaust and how Jewish people were treated. This will help us a lot when we visit the Holocaust Centre in April.
In Maths, we have been learning something brand new - ratio. We have learnt how to write and calculate ratios and we have also been introduced to proportion, which helps us to adapt the ingredients in a recipe.
We also took part in worry workshops this week, where we thought about the affect anxiety can have on us. To help us, we discussed different strategies that can be used.

Fri 30 Jan 2026This week we had our mental health workshop on Tuesday, children were really getting involved in using techniques to support them through stressful times. We had a fantastic lesson in History looking at gladiators and the children were thrilled and surprised by what these men had to endure. We have now finished our division and multiplication unit with children achieving some great scores on the end of unit assessment and they have also really enjoyed writing their own ending to Black Rock in our independent write. They designed their Roman shields this weeks and conducted another experiment using magnets in science, looking at which metals are magnetic and which are not.
