6J Daily Maths Challenge

Here is a shot of the daily maths challenge attempted in 6J today!

We have done a couple of these recently, and after finding them challenging last week, 6J have really started to get to grips with the Consecutive Number Challenge.

We found that the best strategy is the look for the box which has the least number of possibilities. E.g. there are 10 even numbers between 0 and 20, but only 2 cubed number.

We would love for you to have a go at these alongside your children.

Yr 6 Weekly Reminders

Tuesday – all children to have swimming kits in school. Kits, towel, swimming cap and goggles (if necessary)

Wednesday – Homework due in – including information file on our Science topic of LIGHT.

Thursday – all children to have PE kit in school, including trainers.

Friday – all children invited to wear Jeans 4 Genes for a voluntary £1 donation.

We are also asking all children to read regularly at home to an adult and to have their reading diary signed. We appreciate any effort that can be made to support with reading at home. If you would like any information on how you can best help with reading at home, please speak to a member of the Yr 6 team who will be able to help out.

All the routines were put together using Daft Punk – Around the World as the music.

Year 6 House Team Captain Voting – Friday Afternoon

A reminder that on Friday 8th, we will be holding our first House Team Meetings of the year. During these, the Year 6 children will be given the opportunity to stand for House Team Captain. 

We ask the children that want to put themselves forward prepare a short speech outlining the reasons as to why people should vote for them.

The winners, including vice captains, will be announced in assembly on Friday afternoon.

Year 6 – Welcome Back

The year 6 team are really looking forward to welcoming the children back to school on Wednesday. We hope you have enjoyed a rest over the summer break.

Just a gentle reminder that on Wednesday we are expecting the children to return to school with their pencil case, water bottle and P.E Kit. Children may also wish to bring a free choice reading book with them from home.

Each class has 1 PE session this week. With the hot weather being forecast, we advise bringing sun hats and sun cream.

During the next few days we will be sorting our roles such as Worship Leaders, School Council and House Team Captains – children may wish to begin thinking about a short speech they would like to deliver, if they feel confident enough to put themselves forward for any of these roles.

Enjoy your final few days off,

Year 6 Team.
