Engineering Workshop

Last week, we were visited by Pippa and Hamish from Arup, an international engineering firm with a local office. They talked to us about all the different kinds of jobs that engineers could do.

We learnt how to be safe on a building site and got to try on some of the health and safety equipment!

Then, we had a competition to see who could design and build the best tower out of spaghetti and marshmallows. Points were awarded for height, stability, design and the cleanliness of our building sites.

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'.

Year 6 2021-22
