This week, we have been learning how to accurately calculate multiples and then use them to solve division problems. In R&W, we learnt about the five pillars of Islam (shahadah, Salah, Zakat, Saum and Hajj) and how they help to show a Muslim's commitment to Allah. Finally, as part of our Young Leaders role at BBV) we taught KS1 children some playground games. "It was so fun and it helped the younger children get to know and trust us." - Sophie. "It helped us to make better friendships with the younger ones." - Aelora.

This week in maths, we have been learning about common multiples and factors. We then used them to solve tricky calculations. In English, we recapped our knowledge of word class and used it to write expanded noun phrases based on a picture from our class book, The Arrival. In science, we carried out our experiment on what happened to the body temperature of the passengers in the lifeboats from The Titanic. Our results showed that passengers in under-filled lifeboats had a lower body temperature than those on the over-filled boats.

In maths, we finished our place value topic and we started to recap addition and subtraction. In science, our new topic is The Titanic and we planned our first experiment of year 6! We have also started to practise our Harvest service songs: our favourite song is Harvest Samba!

We are learning about place value in maths and have drawn number lines to help us understand things like negative numbers. In English, we have learnt how to write direct speech and how to create an atmosphere with our descriptive writing. In music, we are creating our own Eagles Class pop band. In our first lesson, we listened to the song we are going to perform and concentrated on the tempo and lyrics.
