Welcome back from a well-deserved rest – the children have certainly benefited from their time away after our Fairthorne adventure.
We have used our residential experiences to create a ‘Training and Survival Guide’ for Year 5 and the children of the school, where they have set-out a manual that identifies key tips and techniques that can help the reader last the distance at Fairthorne. Blending our understanding of multiplication, shape,area and perimeter has seen the children working between different domains in maths – this has required great links to have been made and developed one of our key Learning Circle Values: Resilience.
The week ended with a focus on Black History, specifically delving deeper into the lives of significant people in South Africa. The success of the country at the Rugby World Cup triggered a focus to look at Siya Kolisi and his impact across the country. This was considered alongside a biographical study of Nelson Mandela. The children are looking forward to sharing their findings with classmates in the near future.
Finally, a reminder that Year 6 are visiting Fort Purbrook this Friday morning, 15th November to take part in the Havant Borough Council Citizenship Programme. This will take part in the normal school day – pupils just need a warm coat and sensible shoes.
Have a great weekend,
The Year 6 team.
