Dear Parents/Carers,
11th May-14th May is the KS2 SATS week in Year 6.
We would love to invite all of Year 6 to join us in school for breakfast at 8am everyday.
We want to make sure that all the children feel fuelled and ready for the day, having eaten a healthy breakfast. It will also provide the children with an opportunity to socialise with their friends and teachers; calming their nerves before they sit their test papers.
It will also ensure they are in school on time, which is paramount in the day running smoothly.
Children can enter through the grey door on the left of the office and make their way to their classrooms.
Sports morning clubs for Year 6 children will be cancelled next week so that the children can attend.
Children do not need to bring anything extra for school this week, everything will be provided for them.
If your child is not going to be in school it is vital that we are made aware as soon as possible (on the day please ring the office as soon as you know).
Any questions please do not hesitate to email at year6@broadford.havering.sch.uk
Our Year 6 classrooms have been buzzing with mathematical precision! We’ve taken a deep dive into the world of geometry, moving from hands-on measuring to complex problem-solving.
We started by sharpening our practical skills. Using a protractor can be tricky - you have to line up the vertex perfectly and decide whether to use the inner or outer scale. The students have become experts at identifying:
Acute Angles: Smaller than 90°.
Reflex Angles: The "big ones" that are greater than 180°.
Once we mastered the physical tools, we put the protractors away and turned on our "logic brains." We moved into calculating missing angles using our knowledge of geometric rules.
The students learned that they don't always need to measure if they know the "laws of the line." We've been practicing two key rules:
Angles on a straight line always sum to 180°.
Angles around a point always sum to 360°.
