House Captain speeches and Peer marking in English.

Its that time of year when new house captains are to be selected by the school. On Tuesday all Y6 gave their speeches to the school stating why they should be house captain.They really had made an excellent effort and they made an excellent job of presenting to the school.

Robins ...

Green Woodpeckers

Kingfishers

Gold finches

All year 6 .

Votes are now being taken from everyone in school.Results will be announced next week.

In English we have been writing about a film we saw.The film had no speech at all so we have been writing our own. Here Y5 paired up with a Y6 to help them edit and peer assess their work. Everybody took their roles seriously with Y5 benefiting from Y6's experience. 

Thank you Y6- you were excellent with Y5 passing on your knowledge .

New Term...New Class 3...maths lesson.

We have been working on place value in maths and played games to demonstrate our understanding- great fun!From our 5 digit number we had to roll the dice and if a 5 was rolled we could take away 5 or 50 or 500 or 5,000 or 50,000 if we had a 5 in our starting number.We then had to record what we were left with- the 'winner' was the first one to reach zero.
