In History, we learnt about the Tudor period. We took part in an exciting visit to Tudor World, where we found out more about life in Tudor times, including crime and punishment. We also studied William Shakespeare and explored some of his most famous plays. To showcase all that we had learnt, we invited parents into school for our Tudor exhibition, where we proudly displayed our work and shared our fantastic projects. In Science, we visited the forest to search for and classify different types of invertebrates. As part of our Living Things topic, we also carried out an investigation into mould growth, helping us learn more about microorganisms and their role in the natural world. We have thoroughly enjoyed investigating, asking questions and developing our understanding of the environment around us. There has also been lots of enjoyment and collaboration in PE. During our Outdoor Adventurous Activities (OAA) sessions, we worked on our teamwork and communication skills through a range of orienteering activities. We also developed our tennis skills, learning the rules and how to score points before competing in a thrilling Year 6 inter-house tennis tournament. In Maths, we have made excellent progress in our learning of place value, multiplication and division. Alongside this, we have strengthened our problem-solving abilities and learnt how to apply the order of operations, known as BODMAS, to complete calculations correctly and efficiently. Our creativity has flourished in English, where we have produced some wonderful pieces of writing inspired by the texts Skellig and The Viewer. These captivating stories have encouraged us to use our imaginations and further develop our descriptive writing techniques.
