Homework task: Children's Cereal Boxes!

Hi there Year 6,

As mentioned in class, can I please remind you to bring in an empty children's breakfast cereal box for your project next week...it'll be great fun!

If you are at the supermarket have a look at which children's breakfast cereal stand out, what they look like, how they are arranged.

Don't forget to make comments on the BLOG posts please and boost our visitor counter.

Happy weekend,

Mrs Barritt

Here is a collection of pictures from our chalk drawing session thinking about who might be at the wedding in the story and designing an alternative front cover for the book.

It's a shame that it rained that evening and your work disappeared but thankfully pictures were taken....enjoy! Mrs Barritt

Pentominoes a go go!

Your homework this week Year 6 is to design your own pentomino puzzle.  Pick 2 or 3 pentomino shapes that will fit together well and design a puzzle.  Cut it out and ask a family member to re-assemble it.

A pentomino is a 5 squared shape, building on your maths learning earlier today.

Bring the pentomino puzzles back in to get a friend to try it out and assess and then to stick in your maths books.

If you are super keen then there is a fabulous pentomino game, click on the link below to play.

Have a super weekend,

Mrs Barritt :o)
