Shirehampton Y6 - Honiara and Suva classes
Term 3 round up
Well, hasn't Term 3 just flown by? We in Year 6 have been continuing to develop our knowledge and learning skills at an ever increasing pace! In Geography sessions, we have been honing map skills and developing our understanding of the range of climates and landscapes which exist in the Americas.
Career's week came along too this term, with a range of interesting visits from people from all sorts of trades and industries. This was really well received by Year 6 and I am sure this has given our pupils lots of ideas and inspiration for the future.
We are now experts in using formula for calculating area and volume and have demonstrated keen skills in using these to solve real life problems. We really enjoyed producing informative non-chronological reports on life at Camp Green Lake, and took pride in making these look great as well, with careful illustrations.
On to a well earned holiday next week and then into Term 4, where, no doubt, Year 6 will continue their hard work and effort!

PE
Year 6 have their PE on a Wednesday and Friday. Children should come into school wearing their PE kit to ensure they can get maximum time within their PE lessons.
For PE, children should wear shorts, leggings or jogging bottoms that are plain and dark in colour - dark blue, black or grey. They should not have large logos on. Every child is given one coloured PE t-shirt when they start the school; subsequent PE t-shirts need to be purchased. The colour of the t-shirt represents the colour of the House every child is placed in: Cheng Ho (green), Estervanico (yellow), Sir Francis Drake (blue) and Louise Boyd (red).
Trainers are needed as footwear for PE and must also be a dark colour.
