P6B - WB 02.09.24

Dear Readers,

Once again, welcome to our Blog!

As usual, this week was full of interesting things and these were just its highlights:

• The new spelling words, which have been chosen from our addictive novel ‘Nowhere Emporium’ have been practised throughout the week and, as a result, today’s spelling assessment scores were absolutely brilliant! Well done, P6B!
• Revisiting the Narrative, its structure and identifying the different parts of the text ‘Rescue at Sea’.
• Our Reading Comprehension about the ‘Nowhere Emporium’, where most have demonstrated how on task they have been and how much they have been managing to ‘read between the lines’.
• In Numeracy and Maths, we have ordered numbers up to 7 digits, converted numbers up to 7 digits into their expanded form and converted numbers from their expanded form into their standard form. It was amazing to see how much children have enjoyed being more and more challenged. After, we went on to revisit the symbols for less than, greater than and equal to and have used them to compare numbers up to 7 digits as well. At the end of the week we have also had the opportunity to get our number skills tested on Prodigy through fun games and challenges.
• In RE, we have continued learning about the Book of Exodus, the meaning of Passover and what do Jewish people do to celebrate it. This included learning about the Seder and what is included in the Seder Plate. In our school we are always happy to find out about other religions’ traditions!
• Our new topic is Ancient Greece and we can’t wait to start working hard on it to find out as much as we possibly can. From what we have already watched, we’re sure it will be very interesting!
• The week ended with Free Writing Friday and many children have asked to share their writing with the class, which is always great!
• Last but not least, we would like to congratulate our Hot Chocolate of the Week for always following the school rules of Ready, Respectful and Safe! Well done, Renna, you are a and a super good example to follow!

This is all for now, we say goodbye wishing all a happy weekend!

P6B and Mrs Valente
