Welcome to Year 6!

We've had a wonderful first term in Year 6! We've started learning about our topic, the Shang Dynasty, and have come up with lots of questions we hope to research. In science, we're learning about materials, and we have been testing objects for their properties in class. As part of this, we recently explored the Science Garden. Some of us managed to use the pulley system to transport water in waterproof containers from one side of the garden to the other!






Year 6 are keen performers, and we recently performed Michael Rosen's 'Chocolate Cake' in assembly; at the end of this week we'll be going to the Hippodrome to see him perform some of his poems - we can't wait!




This year will be full of hard work and fun, and we can't wait

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 - 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?

Term 6 - Writing Day

 We loved celebrating National Writing Day this year! It was really interesting to think about how authors and illustrators work together to tell a story, and we have made a fantastic class book full of stories about our proudest moments.  We also liked taking part in the challenges which came over the walkie-talkie during the day! A particular favourite was 'write your name in fancy'.
