OK, so it's been a long week and even teachers sometimes make mistakes! I couldn't quite understand why Badger Class had thoroughly confused faces when I set them this problem. I then realised I'd missed out a vital part of the question!
Units of Measure DO matter!!
In the words of 80's rock band, Europe, 'It's the final countdown'... to SATs.
In Year 6, we have had fun and games making sure we are fabulous at converting units of measure. One particular member of the class was especially delighted to have a revision session on this fun mathematical topic! Indeed, it went down so well with the troops that we're continuing with it tomorrow!!
Singing and SATs!
In Badger Class, we had our first go at sitting a practice paper in the hall today... it felt a bit more serious but we all thought it was useful. We are going to have another go next Tuesday. One important thing we have realised is that lots of us need to remember to put our hands up and ask for questions to be read if we are at all stuck.
We then spent the rest of the morning singing in the classroom - firstly, having an early practice of our Leavers' Assembly songs (tissues at the ready - you have been warned!) and then some of the songs from Alice The Musical. It's going to be fabulous!
A morning of writing, editing and pie charts!
Year 6 are busy drafting information guides to our school. We aim to finalise these over the next week or so. We are hoping to produce documents which could help parents of children starting at our lovely school; we're using some persuasive language and including information on all the fabulous facilities and clubs that we have available to us. We have also done some statistics revision this morning and now consider ourselves to be (pork) pie chart experts!
Year 6 have sunny (s)miles !
Every day since we came back from Easter, Year 6 have been running or jogging or fast-walking at least a mile in 15 minutes, no matter what the weather. We are allowed to chat to our friends, run a bit, walk a bit, jog a bit, but the one thing we MUST do is have fun whilst increasing our heart rates and getting some lovely fresh air. Mrs Powell joins us too! It's really enjoyable and it is lovely to have a bit of a break from all the hard work we are having to do at the moment. Here are some photos of today's walk(jog/run etc!!).
Year 6 have been working really hard today and have realised we seem to have forgotten some important SPaG terms. In particular, we need to ensure we remember how to write a full sentence, including all the necessary punctuation! We also tried a really tricky maths reasoning paper and the children have taken these home to try to improve them as part of their homework (due back on Friday).
