Today was exciting as we went back in time to September 3rd 1939 to the day World War Two began. We all enjoyed being in role and taking part in a school day with our war names and meeting our war teachers... Miss Gilbertson and Miss Wilson. We were just taking part in our school dance when the siren went...then it was straight back to our rooms to gather around the "wireless" and listen to Neville Chamberlain's speech.Over the next few weeks we will be researching how war began and what life was like for people during the Blitz.

We have done a lot of fun thing this year but today was a really fabulous day out. We visited Blackpool Zoo as part of our science topic: "Evolution and Adaptation." Daniel said it was, "The best day ever!" We even managed to dodge the rain as we hung out with the monkeys, giraffes and lions and penguins. Have a look at our video to see how much fun we had.

AFTER SATS FUN!
We set the year 6 children a series of maths challenges. They needed to solve the maths clues in teams that were hidden around the room. The clues led them to a 10 digit code that would enable them to escape the room! Thankfully some teams managed this before breaktime! Yikes! Well done Violet, Enoch and Ellie.
Lots of fun - well done Year 6!

As part of science week we investigated circuits as part of our electricity topic. We worked out how the brightness of the bulb changed by increasing the amount of bulbs and batteries in the circuit…
Denico:
“First we made a simple circuit and then we added another bulb and I noticed that bulbs became dimmer. When we added two batteries and one bulb, the light was much brighter. “

We really enjoyed sorting shapes today into Venn diagrams and Carroll diagrams. We used properties of shapes to help us to classify them, including parallelograms and perpendicular lines. Why not practise at home?

Following on from today’s lesson, use this game to help you practise recognising prime numbers
Remember to scroll through to find the prime number option.
Plus, bring 3 examples to prove that this trick works. Remember, you can use short division to divide by 12.
The Prime Number Trick
Using prime numbers, you can amaze your friends with a prime prediction…
- Ask your friends to pick any prime number bigger than 5, but they must not tell you what it is.
- Square it. (In other words multiply the prime number by itself.)
- Add 17
- Divide by 12
Without knowing which prime number your friends picked, you can still tell them: There will be a remainder of 6
Practise your missing angles skills…

Following on from today’s lesson, use the Maths Frame game that was on the board to practise will more at home.
Remember that you will need to log in with the school username and password and choose ” Angles in a triangle”.

Thank you so much to all the parents who came to our reading workshop and learnt about the best way to support their child in the essential life skill of reading.
The children showed the adults the sort of genres and books we like reading and how we do “active reading”
…the sorts of books we have in our library….
…the programmes that we use at school and home to support our reading…
…the kinds of questions we need to practice, the kind of resources we use and how to ask those questions, and finally, the children got to choose a book from the book buffet and a goodie bag to take home!
If your grown up was unable to come, don’t worry, there will be another chance later in the year!
