Term 3 Topic - Rivers

As part of our learning about the water cycle, we made our own water catchment area to investigate what happens to water run-off following precipitation. We also investigated how pollutants enter the water cycle. Children arranged bottles and cartons under plastic bags to create areas of high ground. When it 'rained' they looked at where the water went and if rivers or lakes were formed anywhere. We added pollutants in the form of powdered paint, and were shocked to see how easy it was for the pollutants to enter the water cycle.

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 - 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!
