Year 6 Class blog

Good afternoon everyone. 
What an excellent start to a brand new year here in Y6. First of all, we would like to say a massive well done to all of our children for coming back to school with a mature attitude. It has been a pleasure getting to know everyone so far and we are so excited for the rest of the year.

In maths this week, we have been learning exploring place value for numbers up to 10,000,000. We encountered some harder problems today, but everyone showed resilience and determination. 
In English, we have been learning about Anne Frank and her experiences in WW2. so far, we have explored how to write using an informal tone, using contractions, and appropriate vocabulary. We are really enjoying this topic so far.
In History, we have begun our Mayans topic and we discussed why we study this ancient civilisation in school and what was so special about them. 
In Art, we have been exploring pattern, line and composition, using the artist Lubaina Himid as inspiration. We have all shown real creativity and we can't wait to continue next week. 

Well, that's all for now. We hope you have a great weekend and we will see you next week.
