Programming (Computing) - W/B 29.06.26

In computing, we have been exploring how to program a micro:bit. Using blocks of code, we have been able to determine what output will happen depending on a given input. We noticed how similar the blocks of code are to those we have previously used in Scratch.

The Highwayman (Reading) - W/B 22.06.26

In our English lessons this week, we have read through the poem ‘The Highwayman’, by Alfred Noyes. We began by making sure we all understood what a highwayman was, and when they were around. Then we read the poem, which tells the story of the Highwayman and Bess, the love of his life. Unfortunately the Highwayman has a jealous rival, and events take a sad turn.

Part of our reading was to consider how best to read the poem out loud, which got us thinking about our oracy skills.

Celebrations (RE) - W/B 15.06.26

Our RE topic this term is to do with celebrations. We started by thinking about celebrations in general: what makes something a celebration, things that celebrations have in common, and whether celebrations always have to be happy. After thinking about elements that a celebration could have, we used a diamond arrangement to show which we thought were very important, and which were less so.

Real-life Word Problems (Mathematics) - W/B 08.06.26

In year 6, we have been working collaboratively on a range of problems set in a real-life context. Having made sure we understood the context, we used the given information to answer a series of questions. To extend our thinking, we had to show our answers using calculations, visual representations, and an explanation of our methods and reasoning.

Improving our Writing (English) - W/B 01.06.26

In Year 6 we are continuing to work hard to improve pieces of writing from earlier in the year. One of the ways we do this is through peer-assessing. A partner reads our writing, then gives feedback about how we could make improvements to what we have done. It’s a really helpful way to raise the quality of our writing, and increase engagement with the reader.
