In case you didn’t know, long division takes a long time to complete 🥱 This week Year 6 are going to perfect their fluency skills to apply to some tricky problem solving questions later in the week. @MissDoyle_Falla @Miss_Carr_Falla @FallaParkSchool pic.twitter.com/phvnXHhBkd

Thank you to Demi from @SRTRC_England. We learn how our brains automatically judge what we see we shouldn’t always follow or assume stereotypes. This week’s homework is to think of the pledge we can make against racism!@FallaParkSchool @Miss_Carr_Falla @Mrs_ARowan pic.twitter.com/hQaGnQEQVf

Year 6 have been looking at scaling factors by the same amount to still have the same product. We used counters to make arrays to see this visually before completing some difficult mental calculations.@FallaParkSchool @Miss_Carr_Falla @MissDoyle_Falla pic.twitter.com/08rN99rpQM

To launch our History topic - Tutankham-who? The children explored some Ancient Egyptian artefacts. There were lots of questions about what they were and why they were important.@FallaParkSchool @Miss_Carr_Falla @Miss_Atkinson4 pic.twitter.com/9X3K3uVtEZ

In DT, Year 6 plan to create worry monsters to celebrate Anti-Bullying Week. We met our target audience, the children in Year 1, as they helped us create the perfect design. We can’t wait to deliver them next week! @FallaParkSchool @Mrs_Crellin @Miss_Carr_Falla @Miss__McVeigh pic.twitter.com/LDZ3adTVpv

@FallaParkSchool’s Year 6 have been inspired by @HGold_author’s The Last Bear! We decided to write a letter to our local MP @IanMearnsMP to encourage him to support us in the war on plastic pollution so we can protect animals like Bear!@Miss_Carr_Falla @MrsBarter_Falla pic.twitter.com/kbqk2q1JgX

Year 6 have been recalling their knowledge on maps this week. We remembered some of the different symbols and how to find a six figure grid reference! We even experimented with using the scale to find the distance between places.@FallaParkSchool @MrsYoungfp @Miss_Carr_Falla pic.twitter.com/W8tzmB38w8

Year 6 were treated to the most beautiful view at @TheSillNland! We had an amazing day practising our mapping skills as we created our own living compass 🧭 We’re ready to climb our next summit up Windy Nook to compare the view!@FallaParkSchool @Miss_Carr_Falla @MrsYoungfp pic.twitter.com/TPmU7dGSD9

Year 6 have been developing their classification skills. We started by classifying Heroes chocolate before applying our skills to a range of animals. We even managed to wait ten minutes to eat the chocolate!@Miss_Carr_Falla @Mrs_Crellin @FallaParkSchool pic.twitter.com/RKIJiXFJP6

During our first week, Year 6 created some artwork to reflect our school values. We were inspired by the work of @charliemackesy after reading his book - The Boy, The Mole, The Fox and The Horse.@FallaParkSchool @Mrs_ARowan @FallaMrsMcM @Miss_Carr_Falla pic.twitter.com/JckKwNA9b0

Year 6 received a clue about our first text of the year, The Last Bear by @HGold_author - our class author. We used our inference skills as we predicted what has happened to our polar bear friend and why.@MrsBarter_Falla @Miss_Carr_Falla pic.twitter.com/flaER36kZG

I’m glad Year 6 love maths as much as we do @MissDoyle_Falla! This week we have started looking at mathematical structures. We challenge you to ask us the difference between an additive and multiplicative structure!@FallaParkSchool @Miss_Carr_Falla pic.twitter.com/kt6sXKuhj4
