As we reach the end of a long and incredibly busy half term, we would like to say how proud we are of all the children in Year 6. Over the past eight weeks, they have embraced every challenge, worked hard in their lessons and taken part in lots of exciting learning adventures. It has been a fantastic start to the year, and this week has been a wonderful way to finish the term! 

In Language, the children have been putting their writing skills to work by creating thoughtful film reviews based on our class viewing of WALL-E. They considered the film's themes, characters and messages, producing some super reviews. Alongside this, they continued developing their spelling knowledge by exploring words ending in-able and enjoyed a creative free-writing challenge called The Time-Travelling Watch, which inspired some wonderfully imaginative stories. 

Our Inquiry work has focused on discovering how life has changed over time. The children analysed information gathered from questionnaires, visitors and our Grandparents' Coffee Morning, exploring how developments in areas such as technology, education, medicine and home life have shaped people's experiences. They presented their findings creatively and showed great curiosity as young researchers. 

In Maths, we concentrated on developing multiplication skills and solving multiplication word problems using efficient strategies. The children worked hard to explain their reasoning and select the most effective methods when tackling challenging calculations. We also continued to build confidence and speed with times tables through regular practice and Times Tables Rock Stars activities. 

As we head into the half-term break, we would like to thank parents for their continued support. The children have worked incredibly hard and thoroughly deserve a well-earned rest.

We're already looking forward to next half term, which promises to be just as exciting! Year 6 will be taking part in cycling sessions, developing their entrepreneurial skills during Enterprise Week, and beginning preparations for our Christmas concerts and celebrations. There are lots more exciting learning opportunities ahead.

Have a wonderful half term break and we'll see you all back for another fantastic term of learning, fun and adventure!
