In English, we have been looking at instructional texts. First we studied imperative verbs and time-related conjunctions, and then we looked into how brackets can be used in our writing to help us add extra information.
By the end of the week we were ready to write our own dastardly criminal mastermind instructions! We had instructions on how to rob banks, steal the crown jewels, and even to turn Colchester into zombies (it was, quite frankly, frightening how evil Class 5 could really be when they put their minds to it)! We have obviously been very inspired by the wickedness of Artemis Fowl in our class book!
In maths we have been going mental this week! Don't worry, that doesn't mean we were over-excited. We simply needed to go over how to work out addition and subtraction problems in our heads, and discuss the techniques that we use.
We then got to work in our table groups and create our own posters illustrating the mental methods we had discussed - our classroom is looking a lot more colourful as a result!
In science, year 6 had fun learning about how we see with our eyes and interpret what we see with our brains. We performed experiments that proved we had a blind spot in the back of our eye, as well as discovering what our dominant eye was and looking at mind-bending optical illusions!
Finally on Friday we got a chance to go on the Stanway taster day! We were all very excited to go, as you can tell by these photographs.
Don't forget to come back to Fordham on Monday children!
