Victorian Workshop - December 2017

Well done to Year 6 this week who have thoroughly enjoyed both of their Victorian days. On Tuesday they were lucky enough to experience a Victorian school room, led by the very intimidating Master Grey. In the afternoon they were able to explore artefacts, make toys, write postcards using ink pens and play guess the Victorian. On Wednesday we celebrated Christmas the Victorian way. We made crackers, toys, cards, wrapping paper and played many games. The children fully immersed themselves into the lives of the Victorian children by dressing up in fantastic costumes. Thank you for behaving so well and allowing yourself to learn whilst having fun. What a great end to this term, we are so proud of you.

Spanish

On Thursday 27th September, Year 6 studied Guatemala, a fascinating country with 30 volcanoes. The children also created 'Worry Dolls' out of pipe-cleaners; followed by an excellent session of flamenco.

Class 6K has worked very hard learning the Spanish food vocabulary and phrases, which they were able to use in creating and performing their own Café Role Plays. Well done! Mrs Ermis

Maths


The children in my maths class have really embraced their challenges. They have been working on understanding negative numbers in real-life contexts. We studied bank statements to understand how debt can increase and decrease. Well done for using your growth mindset and not giving up. It really has been a fun week.

Examples of Year 6 Work

The Village that Vanished

This week, Miss.Power's S.F.A group have written deeply perceptive responses to 'The Village that Vanished' - a book about bravely escaping slavery. To celebrate Black History Month and express their ideas, they have sensitively illustrated pivotal scenes from the story.

6B 'Johnny and the Dead' - Video 1

In SFA, 6B have been reading the play 'Johnny and the Dead'. The children have enjoyed writing their own scenes and acting out the play. I am very proud of the hard work they are putting into their acting and writing. The Year 6 show at the end of the year should be outstanding!

MFL


On Thursday, Year 6 virtually flew all the way to Guatemala, in Central America, where they had some great discussions about the country's culture and impressive 30 volcanoes but especially about its poverty issues. They also created 'Worry Dolls' using pipe cleaners , wool and pieces of fabric; followed by another excellent session of flamenco. Mrs Ermis
