Well done to these children this week!
Rap and Hip Hop have greeted the children each morning – don’t worry though, I have vetted each and every song to ensure a ‘clean’ version has been played!
Maths this week has been learning how to multiply fractions (and mixed numbers) by whole numbers. Homework is a simple way of doing this. This concept forms the basis of much fraction work in Y6, so do please encourage your child to explain what is happening to you. We have drawn a LOT of fraction diagrams this week to emphasise what happens when a fraction is mutiplied by a whole number (integer).
In English, we have been busy publishing our wonderful non-chronological texts about Leeds’ Twin Towns/Sister Cities. We have all learned so much about this! I have been very impressed by the presentation skills of the children – hopefully, we will photocopy the finished product and send it home so you can see for yourself.
In PE we continue learning Tag Rugby; in science, we have been explored electrical conductors and carried out some fun investigations involving circuits; and in French we have started to learn how to talk about our homes, in our new unit ‘Chez-Moi’.
Wizard of Oz rehearsals are going very well – we are in for a super show! The children have been asked to learn their words over half term, so we can then focus on acting skills, singing and dancing.
Have a super weekend.
Yours,
Mrs Adrienne Amos
