Year 6 have enjoyed a busy and inspiring week as we launched our new inquiry topic, Is It a Wonder? In English, pupils developed their reading and writing skills through précis writing, exploring powerful themes such as acceptance and prejudice in The Island, practising how suffixes can turn nouns into verbs and enjoying whole‑class reading linked to the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. Maths lessons focused on time, with children revising analogue, digital and 24‑hour time through a range of practical, written and interactive problem‑solving activities. Our Inquiry learning encouraged independence and creativity as pupils researched potential Wonders of Wales, selected how to present their learning and began planning engaging promotional videos. In Science, we continued our investigation into whether leg length affects jump distance, strengthening skills in measuring, predicting and drawing conclusions. Health and Wellbeing lessons included thoughtful circle time discussions on acceptance and teamwork, alongside athletics practice to build confidence and technique in preparation for Sports Day. Welsh lessons were full of energy, with pupils developing their speaking skills through games, questioning and sentence practice. It has been a fantastic week full of curiosity, collaboration and enthusiasm for learning.
