Aderyn Du decorated biscuits into melting snowman.
Christmas Fayre
Year 6 enjoyed hosting a stall at the Fayre on Friday. They have worked hard to not only create products to sell but also to complete costing activities using Microsoft Excel and formulas to keep track of the finances.
Library visit
Recently Year 6 visited Knighton library. This was facilitated by Larry who is working closely with Mrs Fielding to access a grant to develop our school library. We visited to learn how libraries are run; the roles involved in it, the resources that are available and how it is all organised. Emily organised a selection of fun activities to help us learn about these; everyone had a wonderful time. Diolch.
Christmas Fayre crafts!
The children have been busy making some beautiful table arrangements to sell at our Christmas Fayre. Great creative work!
Christmas Fayre crafts!
We have been very busy getting ready for our Christmas Fayre. Everyone has been working hard to start making our special crafts. One of the things we have been creating is decorated bottles.
Estimating and Measuring
We have been comparing lengths using the terms ‘shorter’ and ‘longer’. We have also estimated and measured objects using standard and non-standard units and we used JIT to create a graph showing the length in centimetres of each item.
We
We made playdough snakes and ordered them from ‘shortest’ to ‘longest’.
We measured our snakes using cubes. Then we made snakes of different lengths i.e snakes that were 4 cubes long.
Challenge Yourself 25
We have been busy celebrating and raising money for Children In Need today. Year 6 started the school by delivering a whole-school assembly about Children In Need. We then spent the afternoon completing challenges…hula hooping, the plank, throwing balls, press-ups…all for 25 seconds with a bit of competition between friends. We also learned the Strictly dance. Everyone was so willing to give it all a go. Da iawn, bawb!
Christmas Fayre preparations
We are beginning work on our products for the Christmas Fayre; we have selected products, materials and worked on the costings using Excel and used formulas. It took a few attempts to get the formulas working but we persevered! Our very lovely Miss Bunn has been helping us. But what are we making…?
