Year 6 Social Media Takeover Day - February 2023

In maths, we have been working hard on decimals; we’ve been cementing our core understanding of the place value in decimals in a variety of ways. We have been doing this through the help of place value charts and number lines.

Within English today, we have been working hard on our non-chronological reports all about Antarctica. We have been drafting and editing our work, with a key focus on creating lists, using subject specific vocabulary and enhancing our writing through detailed and descriptive sentences.

Our netballers have been hard at work in their training session today; we’re now preparing for our matches against other schools, which are throughout the next half term. All the children are putting in phenomenal effort; working hard on fast paced netball and knowing the correct rotations.

In Art, we have all been researching famous artists, such as David Hockney and Fiona Rae. We have answered questions, completed research and practised replicating their work in our sketch books. Today, we have chosen a specific artist and we have been using, crayons, pastels and paints to create our own versions of their masterpieces.

This afternoon, we have learnt all about ‘Safer Internet Day’, which has produced many fascinating and useful discussions on how we can enjoy being online in a safe way. We talked about how being online is great; however, there are many things that we can enjoy without technology, such as playing outside with friends and family. We created posters all about it.

Llanrug Trip - September 2022

We had a fantastic trip in Llanrug this year; it really was a week where memories were made and will last a lifetime!

It was a week full of new experiences for us all, where we got to be adventurous on land and in the water.

We rode in canoes, completed zip wires, rock climbed, went mining, walked a lot, swam in the sea, went rafting, threw ourselves into the sea from rocks and many many more activities, which I'm sure the children have told you about.

It was a really special trip and the children were amazing!
