Thursday 7th October- American dinner day! 🇺🇸

🇺🇸 Thursday 7th October will be our American dinner day! We are asking children to come dressed in red, white and blue and join us on school dinners to try some yummy American style food🇺🇸

Every child who has a dinner on this day will be entered into a raffle to win either 2 tickets for the new Savoy theatre, a box of 12 Dunkin donuts or a sweet treat box including popcorn and chocolate! 🎟 🍩🍿

We can’t wait to try the pancakes and honey 😋

We are becoming more specific

6H have been trying their best to be specific when critiquing their work. Praises make us feel good but critique makes us better! We are developing the understanding that, to make sure our critique is powerful, our comments must link back to our learning targets and that our wonders should help to prove our understanding or move our learning on.

Well done guys, we will all be experts soon!

Grappling with place value

Watching the collaboration between everyone today has been an eye opening experience. It really was wonderful to see so many children working in so many different ways. We may have hit a few barriers along the way but the advice given to each other when realisations had eventually been made was excellent and in the end all groups were successful.

Well done guys – keep working hard!

Building background knowledge

Who knew that Mrs Haycock could spin on the spot for so long without falling over? Never mind spin and orbit a table at the same time! Using demonstrations and a variety of video clips, 6H have built background knowledge so they can design an enquiry which would answer the question: Why do we have night and day?

I cannot wait until tomorrow so they can put their enquiries into action.

Today we are mathematicians!

For our Maths starter today, 6C were given a number and they had to order themselves in ascending order – without speaking to each other! Amazingly, the children completed this task in less than 2 minutes. The lowest number was 0.04 and the highest was in the millions. Our number line was so long, I had to take two pictures. When cold called, the children were able to tell me why the number before them was less than the number they had, and why the number after was greater. I was so impressed with the accurate vocabulary they used! Well done 6C. You all received a crew coin for your excellent team work. (Don’t forget to put it on)

Thank you to our expert Martin!
