Visitors!

Year 5 and 6 had an incredible treat today - we were visited by Tony, the Director of West of England China Bureau and Bristol China Partnership, and two Chinese university students, Manman and Xuejing. 

 We'd been looking forward to their visit for several weeks, and had come up with all sorts of questions to ask them about China! We had a fantastic morning, learning how to use chopsticks, how to count to 10 in Mandarin Chinese, some Kung Fu moves, and hearing about primary schools in China. We're hoping that they might visit us again later in the year, as we still have so many questions we want to ask them, and so much more we'd like to learn about.

 We're really enjoying learning about China! Thank you, Tony, Manman and Xuejing!

Term 6 - Writing

 In literacy lessons, we have been learning about part of S. F. Said's book, 'Phoenix'. We read an edited version of the first chapter, and over the next few weeks, created our own action stories based on that.

Term 6 - Language Skills

Year 6 have been practising their -ant, -ance, -ancy and -ent, -ence and -ency spellings recently. One fun way we found to practise was by playing a matching game. Children had to turn over a word card and a definition card and see if they matched. If they did, the children had to try to spell the word without looking at the card. If they were correct, they kept the pair of cards. The winner was the player with the most pairs!

Term 6 - Music Week

 For Music Week, we listened to 'The Carnival of the Animals'. Year 6 focused on 'The Aviary'. After discussing the piece of music, we looked at images of birds and then collaborated as a table to create our own bold, beautiful birds. Don't they look great?
