Our learning this week in Year 6
Maths - Place Value
Place value is already nearly finished! We have gone into, and back out of, it in the blink of an eye!
In the last 2 weeks, we have been looking at numbers up to 10,000,000, reading, writing, comparing, rounding and manipulating a variety of numbers.
Of course, as we are in Y6, Maths would never be complete without a real greater depth style question... Take a look at this one!
English
I love the moment when we get to gather some information from a book - it is the time where children can really come out of their writing shells!
We had a look at the first chapter of The Nowhere Emporium, searching for key words, phrases, sentences, even paragraphs that we could use, change and tweak for our own writing... When I saw the phrase 'devoured by the mysteries lurking inside', I knew we were on to a winner! Well done Flo :)

Safeguarding - morning routine
If you are dropping off your child at the classroom door / KS2 entrance door and need to pass a message on to a member of staff please do so by speaking to the staff member who monitors the door in the morning. If you need to enter school for any other reason, adults can only enter the school building via the main school entrance and seek assistance from the school office team. If you are attending a meeting with a member of staff, you must sign in at the front desk as a visitor and have an ID lanyard.
Safeguarding - home time routine
At the end of each day, Y6 will line up on the playground football pitch. Each child will be dismissed individually, only when a member of staff has seen the adult who is collecting. If they are signed up for OSC, the children will need to be collected from the front office, so OSC can sign in, and sign out, the children they are expecting.
If you need to speak with the class teacher at the end of the day, please allow them to dismiss the class first.
Thank you for your continued support in keeping our school and children safe.
Safety in PE
We would like to remind all parents that for the safety of all children and following guidance from Chorley SSP, jewellery is not to be worn during PE. This includes earrings, bracelets and watches. All children will be asked to remove their jewellery at the start of every PE lesson. This will ensure their own safety during the lesson and the safety of others. If a child is unable to take out their own earrings, adults in school will not be able to do it for them. This will mean they will have to take another role in the lesson such as observing, coaching or officiating.
For this reason, if your child is not confident taking out earrings, please do not put them in on our PE days. This year, our PE lessons are on Tuesday and Friday, however we may also have extra lessons on other days throughout the year.
Thank you for your support in keeping our children safe.
Have a fantastic weekend!
