Well, the first half term of Year 6 comes to an end and what a great one it’s been!
We finished our planes and, although we came up against a few design faults, we were really proud of our finished products.
We’re about half way through our class novel, The Boy in The Striped Pyjamas, and are enjoying it whilst learning lots of news, words and facts about the war as we read.
Perhaps most of us would say the highlight of the term has been completing our independent projects which the children took great ownership of. They produced some incredible pieces of work too.
After the half term, our topic continues for another three weeks. Having sent an email to my grandma this week, we’ll be hoping to read her response; as we all love an opportunity to dress up, we’ll experience a day as war time children; and we’ll get the chance to finish the class novel and find out how it ends – though we do all know it’s a sad one.
Have a lovely break and, although there’ll be no homework, it’s our class assembly when we come back (which we hope to see you at – 02 November) so take the time to see whether your child knows their lines and what they’ll be doing for it.
