Term 1 Topic

 We'll be learning about the Shang Dynasty for our Topic in Autumn. This means travelling back over 3,000 years in time!

We looked at what this meant by making a timeline of other events (some of which we have also studied in previous years)! Children worked in partnership to sort themselves into chronological order. 

We noticed that many of the events we had been given to order overlapped, and we talked about why this might be. Some of our cards were 'Ages', such as the Stone Age, Bronze Age and Iron Age. Other events were happening in different places. Whilst we're learning about the Shang Dynasty in Bristol, what do you think children in China might be learning about?

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 - 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?
