Owls have been partitioning numbers in maths and counting in 25s and 50s. In English they have completed their diary entries and completed a recount of a Roman day.

In gymnastics the children have enjoyed using the wall bars. After exploring the idea of being thankful in RE, they have been writing acrostic poems for our Harvest celebration. ‘Reason Rex’ has been encouraging them during maths.

This year all of the year 6 children are taking on the role of COSLs (Children of St Leonard’s) and their aim is to fundraise to purchase school equipment.
