Grahame Class

Term 1
What have we been learning? 

This term, Year 6’s topic has been Rainforest. Our key question was, ‘Is it worth saving the rainforest?’, as a part of this question we have researched rainforests and produced a selection of narrative texts set in the rainforest taking our inspiration from The Jungle Book and The Explorer by Katherine Rundell.  

Our first term of maths has seen the children exploring the numbers to ten million, refining their addition and subtraction skill as well as honing their arithmetic skills in key areas such as multiplication and division. 

In foundation subjects, the children have reviewed their understanding of continents and where we can find rainforests around the world. 

Wow moments: 

This term we have been focusing on settling in to year six life, this has involved getting used to the rigours of a year six classroom. We also worked hard to ensure our harvest art was up to scratch. 

The children very much enjoyed our team building events early in the term when we went canoeing and on the high ropes course at Ashton Court. The children showed some great team work and resilience.
