It’s been another wonderfully busy week in Year 6 as we head towards the end of term — and what a week it has been!

Maths: Exploring the World… in Negative Numbers!
This week, our mathematicians have been diving deep below zero as we explored negative numbers. Using a world map of temperatures, the children compared climates across the globe, spotting places that dip well into the minus zone! They’ve practised reading scales with negative intervals and worked hard on finding the difference between positive and negative numbers.

Language: Eisteddfod Story Writing Begins
Our classroom has been buzzing with imagination as the children began drafting their Eisteddfod stories, all inspired by the intriguing title “The Secret.” From the snippets we’ve already seen, it’s shaping up to be an incredibly tough competition to judge. The children have shown fantastic creativity and used descriptive language beautifully — we can’t wait to read the finished pieces!

Inquiry Time
Our inquiry projects are really beginning to take shape. Working collaboratively in groups, the children are developing their ideas, asking thoughtful questions, and beginning to gather the information they’ll need for the next stages.

Board Game Afternoon Fun!
A big thank you to all the parents who joined us for our Board Game Afternoon — it was wonderful to see so many of you there! There was plenty of healthy competition: Twister had a few children in knots (quite literally!), and the Uno games were as intense as any championship match. It was a joy to share this time with you.

Wishing You a Wonderful Half Term
We hope everyone enjoys a well‑deserved break. When we return, the Eisteddfod will be just around the corner, so if children can find a moment to practice their song words and recitation, that would be fantastic!

Have a lovely half term, everyone!
