Interesting Maths Patterns




Look at this interesting number pattern! Use the internet (with supervision from an adult) to find more interesting  number patterns. What happens if you continue this similar pattern? Use a calculator to help:

1 x 8 + 1 = 9
12 x 8 + 2 = 98
123 x 8 + 3 = 987
 ???

If you find any interesting number patterns post them in the comments below. There will be merits awarded to any good contributions.

Teaching each other new skills


As one of our class assemblies this week, year 6 planned a lesson and taught each other a new skill. We then reflected on the most effective ways to learn new things and how we can set effective goals for ourselves.

Science Wallwisher Research






Year 6 have been completing some collaborative research using an internet tool called 'Wallwisher'. They worked in small groups to find information about food chains. They recorded information on a group Wallwisher page. Here are the links to a few of the groups pages:

Group 1

Group 2

Group 3

Group 4

Group 5

Despite technical difficulties, most groups were able to record some interesting facts about food chains. The Wallwisher pages are open for editing , so let the year 6 teachers know if you work on them at home.
