The children enjoyed completing a number of maths investigations and participating in a variety of maths based games to help develop their mental arithmetic, reasoning and problem solving skills.

This week the children enjoyed making Easter cards and taking part in a whole school Easter assembly via Microsoft Teams. We made eggs to represent the different characters in the Easter story and placed these around a tree at the front of the classroom.

Year 6 celebrated World Book Day by creating a door display to replicate the front cover of the text Maroo of the Winter Caves, a class text from earlier in the year. All those present in school contributed to the display and the result proved a fantastic representation of their creative talent. In addition, we completed a writing task base on the text and also a World Book Day Maths Challenge, all of which made this a truly memorable day.

Our class text over the past few weeks has been Maroo of the Winter Caves, written by Ann Turnbull. The story is set at the end of the last Ice Age in Europe. The location is based on maps of Stone Age sites in the south of France. This week we have made stone age jewellery and we will follow this up in our literacy lessons by writing a set of instructions for the task.
