Welcome to Year 6 and Team Turquoise!
Your classteachers are Mrs Holman and Mrs Vipond.
Your teaching assistants are Miss Allwork and Mrs Pearson-Childs
It has been a busy week this week in the combined class Year 6 team!
We have been reading a book called 'The House with Chicken Legs' together which has been really fun. We have written Kenning poems on a subject of our own choice and created artwork to accompany it. We learned about spirals in Maths and found out how to make a Baravelle spiral. Our big project was to make our own board game. The games were very good and we had lots of fun playing them. We also got to make fajitas with Mrs Pyke!
Next week starts with our Aztec day and we will be visited by Mexicolore who will bring the Aztec empire to life! We will also be doing lots of practice towards our Year 6 play! In Maths, we will be learning about different types of spiral and in Guided Reading, we will explore an extract from Sherlock Holmes and discuss the character's feelings.
Wishing you all a restful and sunny weekend.
