Year 6 News

It 's been another exciting and productive fortnight in Year 6, filled with hands-on learning experiences and creative challenges. Over the past two weeks, students have been:

  • Exploring their poetry skills during a recent incursion, which was a huge hit! The session ended with a slam poetry competition where students had the chance to perform their own pieces. This has been the perfect launch into our new poetry unit, which we’ll be focusing on for the rest of the term.

     
  • Diving deeper into multiplication in Maths, using both the area model and grid method to strengthen their conceptual understanding. Students will soon be moving on to lattice multiplication and the vertical algorithm as they continue developing their strategies.

     
  • Collaborating in groups to kick off their Call to Action projects, where each group has chosen a topic they’re passionate about and are working to raise awareness and create meaningful impact.

     
  • Celebrating Book Week in style, with our final dress-up day and parade that brought the whole school together. The costumes were creative, colourful, and full of character!
     

The students have had an amazing past two weeks and are super excited for the Ashy Olympics this Friday!
