St John the Baptist CE VA Primary School Year Six

We have a great first week in Year 6 and the children have settled really well.

In English we have started a unit based on Night of the Gargoyles by Eve Bunting, in Maths we are working on place value, in Computing we have been learning about micro:bits and in PE we got absolutely soaked!

PSHE was about teamwork this week.  The children worked in teams of five to create a pyramid of plastic cups.  That sounds easy, but they could only use elastic bands and string and were not allowed to touch the cups.  It was a tricky task but all teams were successful eventually.  The children had to communicate clearly and calmly to complete the activity.  It turns out that louder is not always better!
