Term 5 and 6 - Music

 We've been lucky enough to take part in some African drumming workshops as part of our preparations for our school carnival this year! We've been having weekly lessons with Richard and Mike, who have taught us how to play rhythms on the djembe, bongos and bass drums, as well as the bells and the shakers. 

Year 6 persevered when learning the different rhythms, and worked hard to try to play in time with each other. We were very proud of our final performance to the whole school!

 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'.
