This week in 5/6 ...


This week in 5/6, the children continued to develop their understanding of British Values through viewing the Queen's speech during the Opening of Parliament. Most of the school gathered together in the hall to share in this experience. We were then able to discuss and point out the places within the Houses of Parliament that we visited recently on our school trip. 

Through our English lessons, the children either witnessed or participated in an experience of being in a restaurant. Unfortunately it was not the best service they could have received so they are using this to write formal letters of complaint. 

In Maths we have been learning about using known facts to multiply and divide. We have also looked at generating and describing linear number sequences. 

We would also like to thank parents for their support towards moving homework to Google Classrooms. Although there has been some teething problems, we are hopefully beginning to iron these out and Miss Hedges is working extremely hard to ensure they are not repeated. The children have enjoyed completing homework in this way and it is hugely beneficial to the teachers in collating the data results from each question. This shows us which areas of learning the children have understood and which areas we need to recap with the children.

We look forward to seeing you on Monday or Tuesday next week for Parent Teacher Consultations.
