Hello Year 6!
It certainly feels like it’s been a very long 6 weeks – and yet it’s kind of gone quick too. I really do hope that you and your families are all well and taking care of each other.
What have you been doing to keep yourselves busy and entertained? I’ve still been doing plenty of running, walking and reading, and I’ve also been learning a lot of new recipes to cook and bake (it’s true!) Have you learned any new skills and improved any talents since we’ve been in lockdown?
Today starts the beginning of your next Home Learning ...
Hello Year 6!
What glorious blue skies we’ve been having this week! I hope that you are all keeping safe, well and happy. I have received a request for the answers to the Maths activities in Learning Pack 2 so I am attaching these here. I was in school yesterday, helping children from different year groups with their Maths and Literacy and also doing some crafts in the afternoon. Mrs Khan and Mrs Archibald were both with me and we had quite a lot of (safe) fun with hammers, nails and string. Look at the lovely heart that Mrs Archibald made. ...
If you haven’t done so already, then I highly recommend that you give it a go this weekend as it’s lots of fun and easy to do. Here are Imogen’s results – thank you for sharing!

Email me your answers and I’ll let you know if you’re correct.
Also, it’s a special day today as both Tristan and Mrs K share a birthday. So a very happy birthday to both ...
Hello Year 6,
Yesterday I was in school with some of the children of Two Waters and Mrs Archibald and Mrs Khan. We did an activity called Hapa Zome which I thought you might like to try at home this weekend too.
Hapa Zome is the Japanese art of flower and leaf dyeing and is a very satisfying and mindful activity to do!
Equipment you will need:
Flowers or leaves
Plain white fabric (we used pieces of an old sheet)
A hammer (or a stone)
A base to work on (we used blocks of wood)
Instructions:
1. Arrange your leaves/flowers between 2 pieces of fabric, or between ...
Thank you so much for the Creativity Challenge ideas which I’ve received; they’ve been great!
1st position goes to Tristan for his ‘Ultimate Ping-Pong Catapault Showdown‘, which is a fun game that includes all 7 items!
2nd position goes to Imogen P for her creative list which includes using the post-it’s to make an animation and the chickpeas as marbles!
Well done everyone. 🙂
