Year 6 have had a lovely week this week. We had the opportunity to take part in a coding workshop led by computing specialists from RGS. As part of this the pupils designed their own computer games. It was great fun and the games were a lot of fun to play.
We are also continuing to practise controlling our bodies in gymnastics. We have started putting little routines together.
Thank you to all the parents who came to the SATs information evening. I hope you found it useful.
It was lovely to have everyone back after their half term holiday. The class seemed to have a lovely break and had done lots of exciting things.
In class, we got straight back into our projects. The class finished off their clay pillars with some paint. They look amazing.
It was wonderful to see the class all dressed up for World Book Day. They certainly put a lot of effort into their costumes.
Year 6 have had a busy week this week and have worked hard. However we have had some time to be creative.
On Monday, for Valentines Day, we decorated biscuits donated by the Friends of Milecastle. It was great fun and the all looked delicious.
At the end of the week we made Greek column from clay. This was some much fun. We are going to leave them to dry over the holidays and paint them when we get back.
Year 6 have been working very hard this week. In maths, we have been looking at percentages. The class has a lot of fun working out the price increases in the Milecastle shop.

We have also been continuing with our Earth, Sun and Moon topic. This week we investigated day and night.
It has been another fun week in year 6. We are developing our skills in Tennis in PE. It was great fun to try and get the balls into the other court.
