It's been another busy week in Year 6 this week. In Maths, we have been getting to grips with some important Year 6 number skills, including factors, common multiples and prime numbers. The children have been working systematically to identify factors, spotting common multiples and learning how to recognise prime numbers by their factors. There has been plenty of mathematical thinking, discussion and problem-solving along the way!

Our Inquiry work has also been moving forward with interest. The children have completed questionnaires designed to gather first-hand information about how life has changed over time. These are now ready to become part of their homework – they will take their questionnaires home and use them to interview an older member of their family, such as a parent, grandparent or other family member. We are really looking forward to hearing about the memories and experiences they collect and using these to help us investigate the benefits and challenges of developments over time.

A huge well done to everyone who took part in our House Captain and Vice Captain elections, as well as Reading Ambassadors and Digital Leaders today! The children put an incredible amount of effort into preparing their speeches and presentations, and it was fantastic to see so many pupils showing confidence, enthusiasm and a willingness to put themselves forward. Their peers voted within their houses today, and although not everyone could be successful, every single candidate should feel incredibly proud of themselves. Putting yourself forward, preparing carefully and standing in front of your peers takes courage – and the effort and commitment shown by everyone was fantastic.

The countdown is nearly over! Please make sure that everything is packed and clearly labelled, particularly clothing, shoes and personal belongings. Most importantly, have a lovely, relaxing weekend, get plenty of rest and enjoy a good night's sleep – because next week is going to be ACTION-PACKED! We are so excited to share this adventure with Year 6 and can't wait to make some brilliant memories together. Bring your enthusiasm, your biggest smiles and your sense of adventure!
