Today, Hiba shared her Islamic faith with Y2 and Y6 in RE. She provided a tremendously comprehensive slideshow for us, giving a number of facts about her religion and explaining just what it’s like to be a Muslim in modern day Britain. Thank you so much, Hiba! We got so much out of this.
After learning about and comparing the distribution of natural resources in urban and rural areas, Y6 planted their own trees. This led to some great discussions about the environment and the future, and most of all, it was great fun!
Y6 made some beautiful Easter cards on their final day of term today. Have a wonderful Easter from all of us in Y6!
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.
