Year 6 visit to Chorley Borough Council, by Mrs Moxham
Date: 20th Oct 2017 @ 11:06am
Year 6 were invited to Chorley Borough Council for a morning of fun learning - from silent aerobics - staying safe - Ashley Hall history and how the council spends their budget - it was a great day and the class were a credit.
In one activity the Police employees tried to trick the children into sharing personal information - football training was leaked- where and when before the children realised that this too was personal information. Great lesson learned.
In a quick fire recycling quiz, they were great at considering the different factors that affect recycling.
We found out about the plague in Chorley- Lewis was a great plague doctor.
Year six were in charge of the council's budget and no surprise they chose to spend the lion share on football and recreation and only half the money on clearing bins!
Year 6 homework, by Mrs Moxham
Date: 19th Oct 2017 @ 12:26pm
Homework has been given out today for grammar and maths.
Maths is looking at estimation. The concept is really important in year 6 so they can see whether their actual calculation ' looks right'. So this wee they are asked to find the right answer based on estimation.
For example 3.14 x 65.8 = If we needed to estimate we might calculate 3 x 60 or if we felt able may do 3 x 66
If we have 32 x 19 we may calculate 32 x 20 ( which is the same as 32 x 10 + 32 x 10)
I have offered children a homework workshop on Friday lunchtime if they need any additional support- anyone welcome.
Grammar is looking at verbs - those great ' doing ' words and I am confident they will find this consolidation easy. 2 pages rather than 3.
