To begin the place value topic in Class 6, they’ve been enjoying lots of practical, outdoor maths lessons. Pupils made use of the outdoor areas, as well as the natural resources to support their understanding of numbers up to ten million.

Class 6 Science – Evolution and Inheritance

by

Yesterday, Class 6 had a visit from Miss Denham’s pet dog (Alfie the Cavapoo). As a class, they discussed his inheritance coming from both his Poodle and Cavalier King Charles Spaniel parents. In small groups, Class 6 children then investigated Alfie, identifying the characteristics that he had and classifying these as either coming from his Poodle or Cavalier King Charles Spaniel ancestry. The children used various skills to determine these traits.

Virgin Money Make £5 Grow 

by

Over the past few weeks, Class 6 have been very busy setting up their own businesses to make their money grow. The class split into 5 different businesses offering refreshments at break time to the rest of the school. From marketing to baking, Class 6 have truly taken charge of their businesses. During break time, they set their stalls up and were a hit with the rest of the school. The cake and biscuit stall sold out within minutes! This has been a great project for Class 6, they have learnt how to stick to a budget and make their money grow.

Class 6 have been developing their historical knowledge of how children had fun in the past, focusing on the vast changes in the theme of fun since the Romans left Britain. To start their topic, they have created a British history timeline video, we hope you enjoy.
