Bikeability
A great time was had by all Y6 children who undertook the Bikeability program. Bikeability has equipped our children with the skills and confidence to ride safely on the roads. Thank you to the Morris and the team from Bikeability who have spent 2 weeks at Green Top developing these important life skills with our Y6 children.
Crew Ambler – Peer critique in writing
This morning, we have been busy critiquing our science investigation ready for our final write tomorrow morning. Shout to all of Crew Ambler and members of Crew Jackson for their collaborative work this morning. Well done all!
Crew Ambler – Friction Investigation
In this lesson we investigated friction. We learnt that friction is the force that acts against us when we move something heavy. We learnt that the rougher the surface the stronger the friction. For example we found that the car did not travel as far on the carpet compared to the table. This was because the carpet was rough therefore there was more friction acting against the car so it did not travel as far. The table was smoother as there was less friction which caused the car to travel further. Well done Crew Ambler a great science lesson!
Y5 / Y6 Community Crew and OOTW
This morning was our first opportunity to come together as a phase crew since returning to school after the half-term. It was a great to hear what everybody had been learning in class this week and to celebrate a fantastic start to the term – well done everybody, keep up the fab work!
Special shout outs for those children receiving HOWLs certificates today, and to our OOTW champions too. Who will be celebrating next week?
Crew Ambler – Air Resistance
This morning, we have been investigating air resistance by creating different sized parachutes to see how long they would take to reach the floor. We found that the bigger the parachute the slower it takes an object to fall to the ground. Great work Crew Ambler!
Y5/6 Community Phase Meeting
Another Thursday, another fabulous assembly for Years 5 and 6! Well done to all our HoWLs and OOTW winners and thank you to the parents who were able to join us.
A reminder that Accelerated Reader minutes are being counted so keep up that practice at home!
Place Value Revision (Y6)
We had a number of requests for additional homework at our Y6 network. As we have just finished our ‘place value’ unit of study, I have complied questions from previous test papers for children to complete at home. You should find a range of questions linked to place value, ordering numbers, negative numbers and rounding.
Share any photos or work to [email protected] as we like to celebrate hard work in our phase community meetings
Thanks, Mr Mumby
Y6 meeting slides
Thanks to all parents who attended the Y6 meeting; I have attached the slides as promised. Please email me at [email protected] for any further details.
Together we are crew,
Mr Mumby
Crew Ambler – Family Learning
Yesterday afternoon, Y5&6 took part in family learning. The children and parents were given the task of creating a solar system on Scratch and coding the Earth to orbit the Sun. I was very impressed with the coding skills on show and how well everyone worked together. Well done Crew Ambler and parents 😁
