Term 3: Science

 Year 6 have been learning about life cycles and how flowers reproduce. As part of this learning, we learnt the names for the parts of a flower. Yesterday, we dissected roses, chrysanthemums and lilies to see if we could identify the different parts. It was so interesting to see what the different flowers looked like inside! We had a lot of questions about what we discovered. 

Later on we watched a video about botanical illustrators. We were surprised to learn that this was a possible career choice!

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'.
