Year 6 Eatwell Workshop

6J Maths – Division using Place Value

6J had an amazing maths lesson today: we looked at the concept of short division using a pictorial and concrete approach. We used the place value counters to represent our dividend and exchanged them where necessary. Visualising the learning really helped the children to develop their understanding of the procedure.

6B debate

6B had fun in their English lesson today. We set up a debate, where one half of the class were arguing for wolves being reintroduced into England and the other half were arguing against.

They followed the rules for a debate and tried to use emotive language. This debate will really help them when it comes to writing a balanced argument at the end of this week.

Maths Success at Wrekin College

We are so incredibly proud of our Year 6 mathematicians who recently took part in a Maths Challenge at Wrekin College.

Our team of 4 – Noah, Eva, Sofia & Theo – competed against 30 other school from across Shropshire in a series of complex fluency, reasoning & problem solving challenges.

We are delighted to say that our team achieved 3rd position and were narrowly behind the runners up. They received certificates during our Whole School Celebration Assembly as well as some gifts from Wrekin College.

We are delighted that our children got the opportunity to showcase their mathematical ability and they deserve great praise, not just for their 3rd place finish, but for how they represented our school within the county competition.
