Light Workshop

A few weeks ago, Year 6 were invited to take part in a Light Workshop, run by the Real Photography Company, sponsored by The Ogden Trust, run at St Paul's Learning Centre. You can read all about it on the The Ogden Trust's website.

We made our own camera obscuras, took photos with pinhole cameras made out of cans, looked through the giant camera obscura onto the street outside, and even wore some camera obscuras!

At the end of the workshop, we were given pinhole cameras to take back to school that we will use to track the movements of the sun over the next few months. We can't wait to see what the finished photos will look like!

We had an amazing time making our cameras and learning more about light and photography, and we're very grateful for the opportunity to take part in this workshop!

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'.
