This Term our Topic is 'Hakuna Matata'.  We are excited to be learning about Africa as a diverse continent; studying specific countries within Africa focusing on culture, traditions, economy, Art and History. We will use the film 'The Lion King' for some of our learning; focusing on well being.  Did you know how many lessons there are to be learnt throughout the film?  There is so much to learn, we may need more than a term!  Please check this page as well as twitter to keep up to date with our learning in year 6.  Thank you-Mrs Vigliotta, Miss Thomas and Miss Moon

U- Understand the question. What do you have to find out?
C- Choose the right operation (x-+÷) and method of calculation.
S- Solve the problem! Make sure you follow all the steps.
A- Answer- Have you answered the question? What were you meant to find out?
C- Check your answer. If possible use the inverse operation.
