Y6 completed their Buddy’s Workout challenge for NSPCC today to help raise funds. The children were exhausted by the end of it and had a great laugh whilst doing it. Well done to all involved!

Skiing!
This week, we had an amazing time at the Chill Factore in Manchester taking part in a beginner session of skiing. The staff at Chill Factore were amazing and extremely helpful, even assisting Mr Abraham when he fell over! A wonderful morning full of laughter, flossing and silly songs.
Year 6 went on their Crucial Crew visit today, looking at how to stay safe whilst they are growing up. It was extremely beneficial, learning lots from Bolton Lad’s and Girl’s Club, Dog’s Trust and Greater Manchester Police. They have not stopped talking about it since they came back – thanks to everyone who was involved!

Red Cross Workshop
Yesterday, Y6 had a wonderful workshop delivered by the Red Cross, all about refugees and asylum seekers. The session was amazing, challenging the Y6’s to choose what they would take if they had 5 minutes to pack a bag. A HUGE thanks to the Red Cross for their inspirational afternoon!
Metacognitive Maths
Today, we consolidated our understanding of decimal numbers using a challenging enterprise task: it involved multiplying, dividing and converting decimals.
We found it a major challenge but it was extremely fun!
Editing Stations
Y6 took part in a collaborative, meta-cognitive activity today: editing stations.
By working as critical friends, and by working together, the children edited their balanced arguments to help create a final piece of writing.
Well done Y6!
