Our Learning This Week

This week in Maths, Year 6 have been learning about different units of measurement, including grams, kilograms, millilitres, litres, centimetres and millimetres. They have been practising converting between these units and applying their understanding in a range of activities. Year 5 have been working on changing improper fractions to mixed numbers, as well as comparing fractions less than one.

In English, we have continued our ‘Write for Pleasure’ unit. The children have explored the settings of their stories and developed ideas for their main characters, they have also now completed there plans. 

In Topic (DT), the children have started designing and building their own rat catchers using cardboard and wooden skewers. They have examined prototypes, created their own designs, and begun constructing their models with great focus and problem-solving skills.

In PE, we continued our gymnastics unit by working on partner balances and developing control in paired movements. In basketball, the children learned different types of passes and practised using them effectively in small-sided games.
