What can we say? It has been another extremely busy week here in Year 6.

First of all. we experienced our first transition day in Cwmtawe Comprehensive School on Monday. It was a fun packed but also nerve wracking day. By the end of the day we not only started to find our way around the school but also created a music video and poster to promote ‘Happy’ by Pharrell Williams. We can’t wait to go back!

In English, as part of our homework task, we had to invent a new product and present our advert to the class. Kaitlyn even invented a jingle for her advert 🙂 Da iawn Kaitlyn.

‘Bubble yum, fruity flavoured taste sensation.

Bubble yum’

In maths we have been putting our brains to the test with ‘algebra’. This proved a lot of fun and we enjoyed solving different algebraic problems.

Can you solve this:

9a + a x c = 320.

What is a and c ?

 

Lastly, in our topic work, we created a timeline to show main Victorian events and when they took place.

Did you know? that the first public flushing toilet opened in London in 1852.

Can you imagine not having a toilet which flushed!

 

Next week is also extremely busy- keep tuned to find out more…

 

This week has been another busy but exciting week. We have finished our 2 week swimming block and are now much more confident and enthusiastic to go swimming in future.

In English, we started to look at another persuasive text ‘letters/articles’ and text marked certain features. This will help us when we come to write our own.

In Maths, we reinforced rounding numbers to nearest whole number, tenth and hundredth. We then applied this when adding decimal numbers by estimating first.

In Topic, we are taking the lead on our learning through EPIC (Everyone Plans in Class), by thinking of a range of focused questions of what we want to find out about in the topic ‘Children of the Revolution’.

It’s that time of year again – ‘Christmas Cards’. Parents please keep an eye out for our amazing creations being sent home next week.

Lastly, to the best news of all. Our Head Boy and Head Girl and their deputies were chosen. Congratulations to:

Head Boy – Aiden D

Head Girl – Maya R

Deputy Head Boy – Haydn J

Deputy Head Girl – Antonia P

You all will be amazing in your role!

The standard was exceptionally high once again. Thank you to all who took time in practicing and presenting their speeches.

We have had a busy week this week. In English, we have learned how to write formally in 3rd person. This will help us when writing our non-chronological report.

In Maths we have learnt lots of different mental maths strategies. Ask us any question – but can you keep up with us?

In Topic, we have planned our learning through an EPIC approach (Everyone Plans in Class). Well done Year 5 for asking such imaginative and probing questions!

Wow! What a busy week this week has been. Not only have we been swimming everyday, we have also been to St Fagans on our school trip with year 5 and on Thursday we were part of a session about Young Carers. Also many of us have presented our speech to the school to apply for the role of Head Boy/Girl. We have a nervous wait to find out the successful candidates.

In our English work we have been learning about persuasive writing and created our own persuasive poster using our super selling checklist.
