Term 2: WOW Day

 In a slight change to how Cabot normally holds Wow Days, Year 5 and 6 decided to celebrate the end of their China topic, rather than the start! We had our Wow Day this Monday; it was fantastic seeing all the children celebrate their learning by wearing outfits with red or yellow on them to school.

We divided our classes into three groups in the morning. Each group had an opportunity to participate in three activities: making spring rolls, investigating Chinese artefacts, and creating our own oracle bone tablets from clay. 

In the afternoon, Year 5 made Chinese fans, whilst Year 6 made paper lanterns. Then, we had a real treat at the end of the day: we were invited to watch the KS1 performance! What an excellent start to the last week of term!

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?
