6J Computing – Spreadsheets

6J have been working on functions and formulas in computing this afternoon. They were tasked with calculating totals and averages from a series of data. All pairs were able to do this and find out the information they needed using the sum and average formulas. Amazing effort 6J!

6B Tag rugby

Yesterday afternoon, class 6B enjoyed a tag rugby session by Ms Robson from BBS. We really enjoyed all the activities and learnt a lot of skills from the lesson.

6J Dance in PE

Amazing effort from 6J today. We worked on recreating the infamous Haka routine before moving into groups and rehearsing our own as part of our PE Dance unit.

Sam’s Lego D-Day Creation

Well done to Sam H in Yr 6 for his amazing effort on recreating a scene from the D-Day battle out of lego! Sam spent hours perfecting this and I think he should be very proud of his efforts. This links in with our recent work in class on WW1, great effort, Sam!

Yr 6 Burton Borough Visit to NJS

This afternoon, members of staff from Burton Borough School have visited Yr 6 to do some work around secondary school transition. The children got to talk about their worries & concerns as well as things that they are excited and looking forward to.

Thank you to the BBS staff for helping to make our children feel comfortable with the idea of transition.

Each child will be coming home with a sheet that the BBS have asked them to complete. This sheets applies to all children, even those not attending BBS next year as it is designed to work on transition generally, not to any specific school. Please bring this back in and hand it to your class teacher,

6J Tag Rugby

6J have been impressing Mr J with thier tag rugby today! We built in a number of key skills: handling, passing, team work, communication and transitioning between attack and defence. A very enjoyable lesson for both teacher and children!

6B Street dance

For the next lesson, in our dance unit in PE, class 6B learnt some Street Dance moves and choreographed their own dance routines. We will have a go at performing them next week.

Well done everyone.

WW1 talk

Year 6 were very lucky to have a special guest come into school and give us a talk today. Mrs Davis told us about the impact that WWI had on the development of Prosthetic limbs, the NHS, and changes to the way in which people with disability were treated- such as the introduction of the Stoke Mandeville Games- a precursor to the Paralympics.  This was fascinating for us, as we’d spent a lot of time researching WW1 and the injuries that soldiers had sustained, for our narrative stories in English last week.

Thank you so much Mrs Davis. We really enjoyed it.

 

IMPORTANT: Year 6 Whats App

Please can we ask Year 6 parents/carers to check their child’s Whats App groups that you are aware of the content of what your child is saying to others and who they are communicating with.
