Kensuke's Kingdom

This week Year 6 have begun transition work for secondary school and our new topic on the Ancient Greeks.

We have read the first two chapters of Kensuke's kingdom and completed a diary entry as one of the characters. James C and Kiera wrote very good diary enteries which are on display in the classroom.

In numeracy we have been completing investigations using prime numbers, factors and prime factors. Hopefully we will remember what these all mean after the weekend.

We started our topic on the Ancient Greeks. We will be focusing on The Olympics and have already begun looking at City States. We are working in City State Teams for our topic work and will be using our research to write our Leavers Concert.

We will be Maypole Dancing Monday morning and look forward to seeing you all there.

Wednesday 15th June

We have had a very fun week this week!

On Monday we started doing instrustions in English. We had to draw a picture and then we had to use instructions to explain to our partner how to draw the picture. We got lots of different results!

On Tuesday we got to go Ashton Park school to see what it was like. We did four different subjects, they were: Spanish, Science, D.T and Maths. In spanish we got to go on the computers and play on spanish games. In D.T we made our own Keyrings. In maths and science we had to do 30 puzzles and at the end it made a word. It was very tricky. We all had a brilliant day.

On Wednesday in English we did some more instructions. We had to get some multilink blocks and make a model and then we had to give our partner instructions on how to make it.In science we had a lump of plastercine and a bowl of water. We had to make a shape with the plastercine, weigh it and then we had to drop into the water and see if it would sink or float.

On Thursday we did some more Probabilityin maths. We had to get with a partner and we had to write 5 statements each. Then we had to draw a line in our books and put where we think each statement would go. We could put it on Impossible, Uncertain, Possible, Good chance and Certain.

On Friday we had a very busy day. Four different teachers came in to apply for a job at our school. We did Place Value with each teacher. We have had a brilliant week and we look forward to seeing who gets to be the new teacher.

P.S Get well soon Mr Mackie! x x
