Rotary Club Competition


Every year, we take part in our local Rotary Club's writing competition. This year the theme was 'connections'. Year 6 wrote a wide range of responses to this theme, from poems to stories!

Here are our five winners, and the overall winning poem:


Connections In Everything - Asma

I see connections, some I can’t,
Connections in the human body, blood vessels and arteries,
Some connections invisible to me and you,
Some clear as a bright sunny day afar.

I see connections, some I can’t
Connections in roads, junctions, dual highways and more.
Some connections we need forever,
Others just for a while.

I see connections, other’s I can’t,
Connections to the world,
Politics and others, some in ways that may seem strange,
Ground-breaking scientists who paved the way.

Connections are everywhere,
 Just remember, links back down your family tree,
Connections in wires and industries,
Connections in many ways too.

Although you may argue that some connections aren’t
Necessary,
Although you may be baffled at the thought of it,
Everything is linked, even distantly.

Don’t you know,
A long time ago,
Chickens were related to dinosaurs?
There’s much in the past and future we don’t know and all it goes to show is...

Connections in me,
Connections in you,
Connections can be found anywhere and everywhere as long as you look hard enough.

Some are simple,
Some are incomprehensible,
Some in the form of chemicals and DNA,
Some in the bonds of friendship, in a way.

Today I’ve told you,
In the form of writing,
Something that is to be cherished,
For generations and generations, forever and forever, without end.

Thank you so much if you've posted a comment on the blog - we have replied to every comment that we've seen. We'd really like to hear some of your 'Magical Door' poems when we call you this week - perhaps you can practise performing your poems before we speak to you? Or, if you prefer, you could post your poems as comments on the blog! If you've been a little slow to return to schoolwork after the holidays, please make sure you've checked the blog posts from the last few weeks. Weekly Activities Literacy 1.

In thirty years or so, your children might be reading your diary to

Ramadan and reading

Ramadan Mubarak, Year 6!  We know that Ramadan this year will be very different to any that you have experienced so far. Please watch this message from Bristol Muslim Strategic Leadership Group (BMSLG), the Mayor of Bristol and others - they very eloquently say all that we wish to say to you:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ma3iNRImtbo .  We also have a few reading updates for you! For those of you who have been following along with Miss Davies' Family Performance Poetry Challenge, Ms Tupman's aunt and uncle have decided to join you! Here's their version of 'The Boneyard Rap':  https://youtu.be/RYMP-pN_8Tc . Finally, Miss Davies has made some reading lessons for you. Your parents should have received a text message with the link, but in case they didn't, you can access the lesson here:  https://youtu.be/GqMqvtIb0G4 . It will take you about 20 minutes to do, and there will be a new lesson next Wednesday. Have a lovely weekend, Ms Tupman and M

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!
