Carnival!

It's St Paul's Carnival this weekend! To mark the occasion, children and staff at school participated in our own Cabot Carnival. This year's theme is journeys, so every class took a different type of transport and learned a different poem to perform after we had processed to the Courts (in our transport-themed costumes).

Year 6 learned 'Windrush Child' by John Agard, who was one of the poets we studied earlier in the year (we love the way he performs his works). Our transport was cars, so we carefully studied and drew car manufacturers' logos and attached them to t-shits, masks and hats. We had a great time! There was such a lot of partnership taking place in our class in order to get ready for Carnival in time. Don't we look spectacular? Happy Carnival!

      Hi! This is carnival last year - sadly, I don't think we'll be able to celebrate carnival in the same way this year. I really enjoyed celebrating with last year's class though :)

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 - 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 5 - More Maths

 We used the double-sided counters to explore the game of Nim-7 . We enjoyed working out if there was a way of always winning, whether you were Player 1 or Player 2.  Once we'd explored that, we started asking ourselves other questions: "What would happen if we had an even number of counters?" "What if you could take more counters at a time?" "What if you used the same rules, but played with more people?" Each group picked a question to investigate further, and started to think about how to record what they had found out. Year 6 worked well in partnership with each other and really thought deeply about the maths behind the investigation.
