Our learning this week:

Maths
Year 6:
This week in Maths, Year 6 has been busy preparing for their upcoming SATs. The children have been working incredibly hard and showing great dedication during their practice sessions.

Year 5:
Year 5 has been learning all about angles. The children have been introduced to protractors and have learned how to accurately measure angles. They’ve also explored how to find missing angles using key rules: angles on a straight line total 180 degrees, and angles around a point total 360 degrees.

English
We’ve started our new book The Promise this week. After reading the vehicle text together as a class, we immersed ourselves in the story and began exploring various writing techniques. The focus has been on using relative clauses, conjunctions, subheadings, and colons to enhance our writing.

Topic – Climate Change
In Design Technology this week, our project is to create a ‘floating garden’—a structure inspired by sustainable solutions to climate change. We began by investigating how to achieve buoyancy in objects, then moved on to planning our designs, which we will begin building next week.

PE
This term, our sports focus is on Athletics and Tennis. In Tennis this week, we practised forehand hits, while our Athletics unit is set to begin next week.
