Our Learning This Week

Maths

Year 6:
This week in Year 6, we have been working on addition and subtraction with numbers up to one million. We also explored factors and multiples, applying our knowledge to solve challenging problems with confidence.

Year 5:
Year 5 has been learning about number lines up to one million, as well as ordering and comparing numbers within this range. The children showed excellent reasoning skills when deciding where numbers belong and comparing their size.

English

In English, we have been writing a newspaper article inspired by our class book The Queen’s Token. The children worked hard to capture the style of a real newspaper, using attention-grabbing headlines, quotes, and formal language.

Topic – Music

Our topic this week has been music. We listened to Tudor music, exploring its instruments and style, before having a go at creating some of our own pieces. The children particularly enjoyed experimenting with rhythm and melody.

PE

In PE, we played a full football match, putting into practice the skills we’ve been building over the last few weeks. In rugby, our focus was on passing, where we improved our technique by playing a variety of fun mini-games.
