Year 6 has been getting stuck into production rehearsals and the whole year group has made us proud by giving it their all and demonstrating their true spirit that 'the show must go on!' In between rehearsals, we have been doing more rehearsing...of our performance poetry...and we cannot wait to perform our poems next week. We have also been getting stuck into our class novel, "Monster Calls", exploring new vocabulary and themes related to the book. These lessons have stimulated some really interesting discussions in class and have proved a springboard to many deeper questions. In maths, we set up a 'bakery', bringing together many of the areas of maths that we have studied this year to scale up recipes, to calculate profits and to design packaging. However, not all of us were convinced that saving a few pence on buying butter was worth a trip to a different supermarket... Perhaps the highlight of the last fortnight was learning about famous Greeks. So far we have explored the inventions of Archimedes, studied the maths of Pythagoras and debated using the questioning techniques of Socrates! The Ancient Greeks were certainly a brilliant bunch...if a little quirky!!!!
