What a fantastic start to the new school year 5/6B have had!  They have welcomed me to Upper Juniors and shown what a brilliant attitude they have to their learning.  Everyone has maintained a positive can-do manner and given every task a go, trying their best in our work of this week.  I hope you enjoy looking at some of what they have produced.  Have a great weekend!   

In MATHS, we have enjoyed recognising patterns by cracking the code in our colour and shape 100 square lessons.   In the last session, 5/6B worked in groups to create their own square and we have now displayed them in the junior corridor.  They are already causing a stir!

In ENGLISH, we have used "Here We Are" by Oliver Jeffers as a focus for our work.  We have discussed what makes a good speaker and a good listener and then carried out an activity to practice those skills.  We have listened to, visualised and responded to a collection of poems by Grace Nichols and finished the week by exploring what makes us special and unique.

We are currently reading Kensuke's Kingdom by Michael Morpurgo for pleasure at the end of our days.
