Cricket Whites

This week, 14 students in Year 6 entered a cricket competition. Even though we did not win, they had lots of fun. If the green knees on the trousers are any indication, lots of runs were saved. Well done boys. Many thanks to their coaches Miss C and Mr C.

Football Maths!

This week, with the start of the football season, students in Year 6 are combining the fun of trying to tip the winners each week with Mathematics.

This week we looked at a tally of the teams the students thought were going to win. The students then graphed the results. Below are some of the graphs the student did.

Poetry in March

Bear
The bear's hair
could feel the air
at the lair.

Lee
Lee had a tree
Gee
It tastes like tea.

The cat
The cat was on the mat
while eating a rat.

Jail
There was a jail
This guy had a tail
He looked a bit pale
He had a cat
That would sit on his hat
It slept with his sheep
In his locker.

Being
I was being rude
Not sharing my food
Because I was in a bad mood.

Spoon
Boon ate the coon
At noon on the moon
In June with a spoon.

Pear
Around the table I hear a sound
Of pitter patter on the ground.
I looked but there was nothing there
Only just a rotten old pear.
