Homework
Even if your child is a Free Reader, reading at home is vital for their development. Please ensure your child reads daily. All children will be awarded free books for reading at home. Spell-ings are really important too! We will hold our test on a Friday. Please support your child by encouraging them to practice regularly. They can also use Spelling Shed which is an online resource. Every child has been given their own login.

October – Scientists
As part of our enquiry, Darwin and Linnaeus how are they connected?, we have been investigating the pattern between different shaped bird beaks and the food they can eat. We used different tools to represent the beaks and items for the food sources. We found out that there is a pattern between the two and finches have adapted their beaks in order to survive depending on the food available.
September- Mathematicians
Today as mathematicians we have been understanding square numbers. We used counters to investigate what makes a square number and how we can show this.
September – Athletes
This term Year 6 are lucky enough to have St Brenden’s RFC in to teach them some tag rugby skills. We have been enjoying learning how to pass and move with a rugby ball before putting this into games.
