This morning, we worked incredibly hard for two hours on improving our knowledge of speech punctuation and how dialogue is used to convey character and show action in the story. We worked hard to construct our learning through the use of videos, creating anchor charts and highlighting extracts from our class text. Everyone then went on to demonstrate their understanding by completing independent tasks. I was very impressed with our learning behaviours.

A massive shout out to everyone – we are smashing our year 6 maths learning so far this term! From excellent effort in our weekly beat that times table tests, our end of place value unit assessment on Monday and then a great start to our calculation unit today. Keep up the hard work!

Today In expedition, we looked at the phases of the moon and how sunlight and the movement of the moon causes the different phases. We were hooked into the lesson using Oreo’s to show the different phases and even had a little treat at the end of the lesson. Well done everyone!

I absolutely love how much Blake is enjoying our space themed expedition. Every week he is going home and producing some amazing home learning that really is ‘out of this world’. Here are some photos to show the poster he produced, the wonderful star gazing he has done with his family and the fabulous flying rocket he made. You really are a super star Blake! x

Last week, we started our full timetable and I was blown away with the hard work the children showed in all their learning. Everyone has impressed me with their reading fluency as well as their retrieval and inference skills – using texts linked to our space exhibition has definitely engaged the children. We are also hooked into our class text ‘Spaceboy’ in our English lessons too. I can’t wait to continue with some more fabulous learning this week.
