On Tuesday we had a great time at LegoLand with the year 6 class! First we took our class picture and then we had a little tour through these rooms with huge Lego models.

The ride was where your on a little cart with a few other people on board, you had to shoot the bad guys with a laser gun to save the princess.Then we went into a huge room with two rides a play factory and a race track to race your own cars against others.On one of the rides you had to pedal and the faster you pedal the higher you go and the other ride was go karts and you had to race each other but sadly some people were too tall

Maths
This week we have had a very busy time learning all about the equivalent fraction which is why you have the homework of fractions so that was what we were doing this week in maths.
English
We were focusing on the story `The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe`. So first we read the first part of the story trying to predict what would happen next in the story. We also wrote a letter to the children’s mother about our concerns about Lucy’s adventure in Narnia
Writing
On Friday we watched a film called Mog’s Christmas Calamity and had to retail the story through Mog’s eyes.
Spellings
This weekly spelling was though, although, dough, through, breakthrough, thought, bought, brought, fought, ought
We are looking forward to the pantomine on Tuesday and our Christmas party on Wednesday.

week ending 6 12 19, by Mr Pearson
Date: 6th Dec 2019 @ 3:36pm
At the start of the week we went to Barden Primary School and watched there Y3 and Y4 Christmas play. We kind of got to meet them, introduce ourselves to them.
In writing, we were focusing on the story `The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe. We started reading the book and write what would happen next and then on Friday we started watching the film.
In maths, we did fractions into decimals. So, what we had to do was Mr Pearson gave us a fraction and we had to write the decimal of it 23/100 = 0.23. We have also been investigating equal fractions.
We have been doing lots of times tables and Mr Pearson has been testing us on our understanding.
A quick message all of you need to know your times tables by June ready for the test.
By Oliver and Lucie 😊

Space rocket day, by Mrs Catterall
Date: 28th Nov 2019 @ 6:19pm
Wow! We had an amazing day on Tuesday thanks to Steve from Starchaser. The children thoroughly enjoyed making their rockets and watching them fly high into the sky. If you were in Longton I wouldn’t be surprised if you could hear their ohhhs and ahhhs!
We went outside to look at the Nova 2 rocket. It has cost £500,000 and 10 years to develop. We are looking forward to seeing it blast off into space at the end of a May 2020.
We made some spaghetti bolognese from expedition freeze dried food similar to that which astronauts eat.
Thanks to all the parents who came along to watch, we hope you enjoyed it as much as the children.
