Term 4 - Topic

 As part of our learning about the water cycle and rivers, we made our own V-shaped river valleys! We balled up paper balls, and arranged them in a zig-zag formation. Then, we used mod-podge to build up a layer over the paper balls. We took special care to ensure that the path of the river was visible. Once that had dried, we covered our models with a mixture of PVA glue and water, and then built up the landscape with strips of tissue paper.

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!
