What a fantastic and busy week Year 6 have had!

In Language, we have been learning about Black History Month and celebrating the achievements of inspirational Black figures. The children thoroughly enjoyed researching a person of their choice and creating detailed fact files, showcasing their research, presentation skills and creativity. We were impressed by the variety of individuals chosen and the thoughtful reasons children gave for why their chosen person should be remembered and celebrated.

Our learning linked beautifully with Expressive Arts, where the children created stunning graffiti-style self-portraits inspired by the artist Jean-Michel Basquiat. They experimented with bold colours, symbols, words and images to express their personalities, producing some truly eye-catching artwork that they are incredibly proud of. 

In Maths, we have been focusing on multiplication, building confidence with multiplying by 10, 100 and 1,000, as well as using formal written methods to multiply larger numbers. The children have worked hard to apply their skills when solving multiplication problems and explaining their mathematical thinking. 

This week we also celebrated Shwmae Day, with children enthusiastically embracing the use of Welsh greetings throughout the day. It has been wonderful to hear so many confident "Shwmae!" and "Sut mae?" greetings around the classroom as we continue to develop our Welsh language skills. 

Finally, today we showed our support for Show Racism the Red Card by wearing red. The children demonstrated great maturity when discussing the importance of equality, inclusion and respect for all, helping to reinforce the positive values we promote in Year 6.

Da iawn, Year 6, for another fantastic week of learning, creativity and teamwork! We hope you all have a lovely weekend.
