Another excellent week whizzes by in Year 6. Some highlights this week have been the children showing real reflection and resilience analysing poetry. In maths, continuing our exploration of all things decimals and in Geography  building our understanding of the positives and negatives of fossil fuels.

Our Geography and English is obviously have a cross-curricular impact – check out this poem written by Alfie!

This week we started our ‘big idea’ for the term: I am an artist. Look at the spring pages on the blog to find our: planning for the term newsletter and a timetable.

As part of the big idea the children were introduce to the work of Benjamin Zephaniah (we are looking at poems from his latest book Wicked World. If you’ve not heard of him look him up he’s an amazing character and a great way to get into performance poetry. Check out an extracts below:

 

Time to celebrate:

Our 5R champion this week goes to … Cecily! She has returned after the break full of energy and enthusiasm. She has a positive mindset to her work which will result in success. Well done Cecily!

 

Our Jigsaw theme this term is ‘goals and dreams’ and the children have been identifying their strengths and thinking about a goal inside and outside school. The award this week goes to …Russell! Who had to challenge himself to recognise his own strengths (of which there are many!). Well done Russell!

I hope you all have a excellent weekend.

Take care, Mr Leverett
