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 - 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'.
