Crew Myers are the winners of this weeks TTR tournament, a huge well done to them!
Well done to Esmae, Sumit, Shayen, Modish, Taylor and Rehand who are our top contributors to TTR this week!
Don’t forget there is a tournament running every week, 10 minutes playing TTR after school will really help improve times table knowledge.
In time to read crew, Year 6 have been creating book reviews based on their recent reads. We have filled our new book corners with these reviews to inspire our friends to read our favourite books. Our challenge is to add a range of genres to our reviews. Once children have read a book recommended by a friend, they are going to add their own mini reviews on post it notes.
Keep reading 6B!

Yesterday, Year 5 & 6 pupils had an expert in school yesterday to build on the work they had engaged in with the space dome earlier that day. They talked in great detail about consolations and how we will be able to look out for these on our upcoming stargazing event.
How exciting!

We were lucky to receive a visit from Chris, a physics and space expert, to hear about the origins of our universe. We then spent some time asking questions that provoked a lot of excitement for our upcoming expedition.
We were surprised to find that the formation of life from bacteria to humans are all relatively much more recent events than the big bang and creation of our sun (billions of years, in fact)!
Well done to all children in years 5 and 6 for your attention and curiosity during this visit.
This afternoon, we spent time outside with our crew, sharing a book together.
Today, all the children in years 5 and 6 visited my room where we had a discussion about how the Earth’s rotation causes night and day. I demonstrated by using a torch (the sun) and rotating a globe (the Earth), then we held a further discussion about how all our measurements of time are affected by astronomical bodies and their orbits.
We look forward to demonstrating this to you in future!
Years 5 and 6 had a great time today, solving a series of clues to unravel the guiding question for our autumn expedition.
They worked together to solve a series of puzzles and brain-teasers to unscramble the word ‘infinity’ – part of our expedition title and guiding question: ‘To and infinity and beyond: how does movement affect our world?’
Great teamwork, treasure seekers!
