Y6 absolutely loved learning about a Jordan today! We began by researching the country and then created information leaflets that included geographical knowledge and understanding and a focus on why the country has particular religious significance. In the afternoon, we created Kahoot quizzes to share what we’d learned, which was great fun. Well done, Y6!

On Thursday 25th March, Y6 sowed Swiss chard seeds. We plan on growing plenty more plants and veg in the coming weeks and months!

On Tuesday 16th March Year 6 used our outdoor learning time to deepen our understanding of shape and geometry. We used sticks to make rectilinear shapes then we used webbing to explore properties of different polygons. Mrs B and Mr Hayton were very impressed with the problem solving and team work displayed by the class!

In Y6, we considered different types of hopes we can have and what happiness is and how it can be spread, before moving onto the Zones of Regulation. Understanding these zones, and specifically putting “tools” in place, can help us self-regulate our own emotions, helping us achieve our hopes and happiness. Now we have a shared language to use when discussing the range of emotions we all encounter on a daily basis.

Y5 + 6 completed their maths work this morning – it was excellent! Miss Topping, Mr Hawkins and Mr Richardson decided as a little treat that we would have a fun filled break including building a snowman, snowball fights and some snow football. We love to work hard and play hard at St Oswald’s!

In Year 5 & 6 we have started to question how we can keep ourselves safe online when using social media apps. We have discussed the potential dangers of using social media and how we can protect ourselves from these. We have also discussed the reliability of information presented online and whether it is trustworthy all of the time. In Year 6 we have also focused on building upon our Google Slides skills and learned how to insert a hyperlink.
