Langland Community School

Welcome to Year 6! WOOHOO!

I can't believe I'm back a year later with this amazing class again! (Plus some wonderful new faces!!!) We've had a great first full week back at LCS and are really demonstrating to the rest of the school what it means to be in Year 6. We've already earned sooooo many 'hundred squares' towards our end-of-term treat and that goes to show how incredible the whole class have been on their return to school.

We've really enjoyed starting all our new topics, looking at the place value of numbers to 10,000,000 in maths, reading the Wolves of Willoughby Chase by Joan Aiken in TfR and writing some great descriptions in TfW. The class have also enjoyed experimenting with tone in art lessons and developing their 3D modelling skills in computing. 

Looking forward to next week where lots of us are heading to Caldecotte for our residential trip. I'm very excited!

Enjoy the weekend and see you all on Monday!

Wow! I almost don't have any more words than simply, wow! 

We have had the most unforgettable time at Caldecotte. From sipping hot chocolate and sleeping in the yurts to hiding conkers to keep the spiders away, it was non-stop fun! The leap of faith and abseiling pushed us to be brave, and though canoeing and kayaking left us soaked, we loved every second!!! Our barbeque was delicious and we enjoyed snacking on popcorn whilst we watched a film in the evening!

I am so incredibly proud of how resilient and courageous everyone was. What an amazing experience and one I will certainly never forget. 

You can check out a video of the action on our Facebook page! But for now, have a lovely weekend and see you all on Tuesday (inset day on Monday)!

It's been a really great week this week and the children have impressed me greatly with being able to slip straight back in to 'normal school life' after such an exciting time at Caldecotte last week! 

We completed our final mock SATs papers which the children approached with such a great attitude. We've been looking at adding and subtracting in maths and have started writing some poetry relating to portal stories in talk for writing! 

On Thursday, we had a great time celebrating European Day of Languages and enjoyed tasting some food from different countries - although the tzatziki was a bit 50/50! The class made some great presentations in groups focusing on different European nations and I was really impressed with their enthusiasm! 

Have a great weekend and see you Monday!
