This week we have begun planning a story based on the Tear Thief. The children have acted out scenes and developed descriptive phrases to support their writing. In maths, we have been looking at decimal numbers and learning about their value to help us order them. We have created circuits and investigated how to make a switch. We had a ‘Roman’ visitor in class, who came wearing a toga - the children learnt about why the Romans wanted to expand their empire.
Well done Y6 for taking such pride and care with your school council posters – you should all be very proud of yourselves. Please see photos below.
Great effort Lundy Class with your reading last week – let’s see if we can get even more of you reading five times this week!
Please find home learning reading below.

This week we have been familiarising ourselves with our Literacy text-‘The Tear Thief’. We have been ‘hot-seating’ the main character and investigating how the author uses adverbials. In maths, we have been looking at 6 and 7 digit numbers represented in different images to help us deepen our understanding of place-value. We have re-visited previous learning on Electricity in preparation to start this topic and we have looked at the Roman Empire and compared it to today’s map of Europe.
We are super-impressed with how the children have had a go at learning their 7 times table – brilliant effort and result!
This week the children have settled very well back into school. They have re- newed friendships, worked as a team and learnt new routines. The children have all made a fantastic start to their learning; in maths we have started looking at place value and in English the children have been reading a new story by our visiting author. We have been learning some French and finding out about the countries of Europe.
