6J: French Study Pt 1

6J had the first part of their French study today with Professor Muller from Cambridge University. They looked at identifying character, numbers, clothes, colours and attempted to write their own French description of a character. This study will continue throughout the week. The children seemed to have had great fun taking part in this study.

Black History Month

6J have been recognising black history month this week and during today’s lesson we looked at some the coded language which would’ve been used by slaves trying to organise an escape. We had a go at creating our own coded messages. See if you can crack the 6J coded sentence.

6J Cryptarithms

6J’s 3 star mathematicians were faced with a very tricky challenge today, they had to figure out which numbers were being represented by the letters! They showed great resilience and worked together to look for patterns and find the answers. Well done!

Working with your study buddy!

6J have been making use of the study buddy system to develop their understanding of decimals. This system works by allowing children who aren’t too confident in maths to work with someone who is more confident and therefore able to provide some peer help to them. The system worked well today and and the children were all able to solve the problems presented to them.

Narrative writing: Matching characteristics.

6J have carried on their literacy focus of narrative writing by matching the specific characteristics to the correct genre. In perticular we looked at science fiction, horror, mystery, fantasy, adventure and myths. The children were given strips of information and were tasked to identify the genre they were from.
