6J completed their first taste of Tag Rugby in PE last week. We began the unit by looking at some of the key skills: agility, passing, catching and moving into space. There is a Yr 5/6 Tag Rugby tournament coming up so it was great to see lots of children giving the sport a go!

6J have been exploring worldviews in Beliefs & Values today. We have spent time looking at the belief of Humanism.

Here are some quotes from the children of 6J after today’s lesson:

“I’ve enjoyed learning about a new topic, I didn’t even know Humanists existed before today…” Kacey Mae

“It’s a lot more fun when we get to learn using stories we haven’t heard before…” Kayla 

“It has been interesting because I can link it to my own thoughts, it’s nice to learn about things other than the main religions we normally do…” Brianna

“I’ve liked it because if you are a Humanist, or agnostic, then you will feel like your beliefs have been included in our school…” Daisy

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.
