first week in year 6

On the 11th of September the new year 6 was getting used to the big wide world of year six. In maths we started learning how to round to 10, 100 and 1000. After that we had a 20 minute break where we played football. In literacy we read an extract from Oliver twist by Charles Dickens. Then we got a detailed page of a book called Great Expectations also from Charles Dickens. We wrote a shortened version of it. After lunch we did extended writing where we read part of Great Expectations. It was alot easier than normal extended writing. Then we did rallies in tennis for games to end the day.
