Term 2: Chinese Visitors

As part of our topic learning about China, Year 5 and 6 were visited by Tony, Melanie and Dr Huang last week!

They taught us some Mandarin and Cantonese phrases, told us the story of the Chinese zodiac, and sang us a song about Chinese New Year. We ran out of time to practise using chopsticks, but we're looking forward to doing that soon!

Thank you for visiting us and teaching us about Chinese New Year!

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'.

Year 6 2021-22
