Summer 1 – Week 6

Stars of the Week: Olivia & Max

This week, we have been busy creating our own ‘ojo de dios’ or ‘eye of God’. These are Mexican inspired art pieces which they believe help to protect people. We created them using lollypop sticks and yarn which has to be woven in a particular pattern.

Stars of the Week: All of Class 6

Last week Class 6 finished their SATs examinations and we are all extremely proud of how they performed. They were calm, collected and made sure they tried their best in each test. Well done.

Spring 2 – Week 6

This week, we were visited by Ross Montgomery, author of several books, including The Chime Seekers which we have been reading recently. He gave us some amazing tips about writing and what it’s like being an author. He also gave us some excellent advice about finding ideas and building them to make a story.

Spring 2 – Week 5

Stars of the Week: Diane & Ethan

Recently, we have been working on our blending and shading skills using mixed media. We created these pictures using watercolours for the sky and fine liner for the shading and details. They were so good, they went straight into a frame and on display in the Y6 classroom.

Spring 2 – Week 4

Stars of the Week: Isabella & Luca

Recently, we were visited by Animals UK. They brought along lots of different animals to help us with our learning. We learnt all about a boa constrictor, a tarantula, a fennec fox and a tiny owl. We learnt all about their adaptations and how these help them survive. We also learnt about their habitats and what they eat.
