Since our return
from the Isle of Wight, the children have been learning about the features of
effective leaflets in preparation for writing their own next week. Keep an eye
out for these on open evening!
In maths, the
children have been working in pairs to design and work out the cost of a theme
park. They are beginning to look at marketing budgets and prepare
advertisements and the project should be completed next week. We certainly have
some budding entrepreneurs in year 6!
In science, we
have been finishing off our unit on evolution and inheritance. The children have
produced some wonderful homework related to Darwin’s voyage on the Beagle and
many examples are now displayed in the classroom.
Next week, we will
be designing and making bean bag frogs as part of our rainforest topic. Thank
you to those parents who have agreed to come in and help- there will be lots of
needles to thread!
If you would
like to support your child at home:
We will be
beginning transition lessons in the next couple of weeks. It may be a good idea
to talk to your child about how they are feeling about secondary school so that
if they have any worries, these can be discussed in school. We have a worry box
in each class where the children can let us know about concerns or write any questions
they may have.
