Our Friday in 6CC began with a bang as the class split themselves into teams to take on a Kahoot! quiz: revision edition. Each team battled it out to become the quiz master, utilising their knowledge and understanding of shape.

Magnificent mentoring!
As we prepare for SATs, the children have stepped up their efforts to mentor and listen to the feedback of their peers, particularly in Maths. As you can see below, our arithmetic pairs have been working exceptionally hard to revise previous learning and refine their maths skills. Might I add that their mentors have been doing a pretty fine job too!

NOW HIRING: SATs SPAG QUESTION DESIGNERS!

SPAG revision took more of a creative focus last week as the children worked in pairs to design their own SPAG test: 8 questions with a focus of eight SPAG areas. When finished, the pairs then swapped tests with another pair and worked through their questions to see if they could achieve full marks!

To further supplement their development in becoming skilful rounders players, Year 6 practiced their fielding skills today focusing mainly on throwing, catching and tactical play. Starting with some fun games to stress the importance of rapid throwing and catching to beat running players, the children quickly moved onto improving their long range throwing and catching.

Practising these skills in isolation is important but nothing compares to putting these skills under pressure in small game situation. Safe to say, the practice beforehand made the small games even more competitive. Now, Year 6 will look to improve their skills with a bat! Well done all!
