NSPCC number day

Learning about the NSPCC and using Real life maths.

We used our math’s skills to research the best value for in school and out of school treats for after SATs. We discussed the price of a coach, taking public transport or the possibility of being able to walk.

We now understand how expensive it actually is for 30 children to go out for the day.

Year Six – collective worship

Week 1 – Sharing the mercy of God with others

Today, we planned and lead our collective worship focusing on sharing Mercy with others. This week we have asked everyone to show compassion, empathy and kindness with other.

We reflected about what the world is like with mercy and what it could be like if we didn’t have mercy

School Council met with Mrs Conley.

Today the school council have held a meeting with Mrs J P Conley to discuss their idea of having a ‘No pen’ day. They discussed how they feel we could have a day with no writing and focus on using other skills such as speaking, art and computing to complete the learning across the day.

Mrs J P Conley asked us questions about what learning would be taking place and considered our idea. She agreed there was a way for learning to still take place with lessons having activities that record down in other ways. For example, using our computing skills in English to type out our sentences and paragraphs.

On 23rd April, we will be having a ‘No pen’ day with no writing!
