Miss Davies' Family Performance Poetry: learn and perform 'Something Comes' by Valerie Bloom.


'Something Comes' by Valerie Bloom

 Something’s coming, but what is it?
Something comes.

Over the mountain
like thunder of drums,
shaking the leaves from trees.
Something comes.

Down through the valley,
with a bellow of bombs
alarming the cows and sheep.
Something comes.

Up through the forest
the frightened air hums
for tearing it in pieces
something comes.

Coming up the driveway
with a noise that numbs
crumpling the paving stones.
Something…comes.

 Topic

 Science

 Do the quiz and then follow along with this lesson about the Animal Kingdoms. (This is a recap of some science learning you did in Year 5 and a little bit of science learning from Year 6.) Stop and join in with the activities the teacher asks you to.

 P.E.

Warm-up with this video from Go-Noodle, then join in with P.E. with Joe.

Have a great day and remember to email us a piece of work that you're proud of at year6.cabot@bristol-schools.uk!

      Hi Christina, hope you're well! We had an email from you on 20th May to the right email address - can you use that one again? (By the way, I loved seeing your work - thank you for sharing!)

      The email address is: year6.cabot@bristol-schools.uk

      Let us know if it still isn't working. Hope you're doing well! Ms Tupman

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.
