Today 6J made use of drama as a way of performing dialogue. The children spent some time making improvements to the text before performing to each other. Some wonderful pieces of drama – well done 6J!

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.

6J have almost finished their class story of There’s a boy in the girls’ bathroom; the boom we have used for the last 3 weeks in our Literacy lessons. Today we worked on understanding how the main character (Bradley Chalkers) changes throughout the story.  

Our P.E topic this term is dance; to familiarise the children with dance we had a go at performing the YMCA. After this the children were tasked with creating a dance routine which displayed each other letters of their names. There were some wonderful performances, well done 6J! 

 After a full afternoon of writing 6J took part in some brain gym activities within class.  

  
Today’s PE session was based around circuit training; we did shuttle runs, star jumps, press ups, basket throws, bean bag toss and bench step ups. 

Today in year 6 we have been working on our understanding and applying of factors, multiples, prime and square numbers through the game Factor Lines.
