Luscious literacy,
In literacy this week we have been writing a set of instructions of how to mummify a person. First you have to make sure the body is actually dead and then you wash it in Nile water and wine. Next you get a metal hook and put it up the nose and wiggle it about until the brain comes out. Then you get obsidian and make a hole in the left hip and then take out the intestines, liver the stomach and lungs. And I will not go on any longer.
Marvellous maths
In maths this week we have been doing 2 different things, first we have been doing finding the middle between 2 decimal numbers, here is 1 to try at home, find the middle between 1.8 and 8.8. and we have been doing word problems.

Assessment week!!!
This week we haven’t been doing normal learning but tests, practicing for SATS. Don’t be alarmed they are in May and that is 5 months from now so we still have lots to learn. The tests that we have been doing involve all of the operations and also we needed a protractors and although Davy has not learned about protractors we still had a go at it.To pass you had to get a total of 60 marks plus the scale score you have to get 100.
P.E
In p.e. this week we have been doing circuit training. In the first circuit we were spreading our arms out and having a 1 bean bag in each hand and balancing them for a minute, then we move on to the next one which was doing a line jump and seeing how many we did in 1 minute. Ten we did shuttle running from different cones and next we had to do bench push ups which was very unique. We did a lot more like balancing a ball etc.
Next week
On Monday the choir are going to the memory café then on Tuesday it is Christmas lunch and on Wednesday it is what was Tuesday lunch but now on Wednesday, and on Friday it is Christmas jumper day and you bring in 1 pound.

Quest magic
This past week year 6 have been writing very exiting quest story’s on the laptop ( Power Point) and we have learnt how to use hyperlinks and go to different slides. You at first have a choice of 4 paths which 1 will result in death, then it narrows down to 3 paths and then 2 and then you will be victorious on your Quest and the reader chooses the path they go down.
Marvellous maths
In maths this week we have been given a reasoning maths test which some may disagree was harder than others. Most of the questions was explain your reasoning or explain your choice.
