Natural History Museum - Life Cycles

The second of our amazing topic trips was to the Natural History Museum in London! We had to leave school before 7am, which was a real struggle. The journey to London passed quickly, helped by being able to watch several films on the bus.

At the Natural History Museum we followed several trails around the museum, learning lots more about our Life Cycles topic in science. We couldn't believe how much there was to see, and lots of children wanted to stay for the whole weekend.

The grand finale of the trip was a chance to handle and explore objects from the museum's collection. We used microscopes, magnifying glasses, scales and more to work scientifically to make observations about the different objects.

What an incredible trip - I'll let the photos do the rest of the talking!

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 - 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!
