After a well-deserved half-term break, it’s been back to business as usual in Year 6—and what a fantastic week it’s been!

In maths, we’ve been diving into multiplication, division, and exploring square and cube numbers. The children have shown great confidence and skill in using formal written methods to tackle large numbers—impressive work all round!

Our language lessons have focused on the features of formal letters. We’ve been discussing when and why formal letters are used, and the children have been brilliant at identifying key elements. Next week, we’ll be putting this knowledge into practice by writing our own formal letters.

Excitement is building as we’ve launched our Year 6 Enterprise Project! Pupils have begun forming working groups and brainstorming some truly creative ideas for products to design, make, and sell. There are also plenty of festive games and challenges in the works—perfect for getting everyone into the Christmas spirit at our upcoming School Christmas Fayre. If you have any materials at home that could be useful, please feel free to start collecting them. We’ll also be ordering any additional items the children need.

A special shout-out to 6L, who have had a brilliant week of cycling lessons. It’s been wonderful to see so many children who were previously non-riders now confidently riding bikes—what an incredible achievement! Those who ventured out onto the roads demonstrated excellent control, awareness, and safety. We’re very proud of them. Next week, it’s 6R’s turn to develop their cycling skills—we can’t wait to see their progress!
