Class 6 Assembly

26/02/2016admin

Oyay! Oyay! Next Tuesday is Class 6’s last class assembly at Cathedral School!

As our class governor, Father Michael came straight from his Collective Worship (on Shrove Tuesday, Ash Wednesday and the meanings behind the Cathedral’s new sculpture) to Year 6 today to see a Literacy lesson.

How does Father Michael help Class 6?

Word banks
Checklists
Whiteboard work
Reading The Hobbit
Dictionary work
Grammar and punctuation work

Junior Doctors Visit Cathedral School

10/02/2016admin

Year 6 had a fascinating morning, with doctors from Guy’s and St. Thomas’ Hospitals. We learnt CPR (so that we can provide clear instructions to adults – it’s very tiring!); we learnt and practiced the recovery position with our friends…and sang Staying Alive!

Afterwards, we went back to the classroom and had the chance to ask some questions of our own – it was really interesting!

What did you ask and what was the answer?

What did you learn and how will this be helpful in the future?

How has meeting these brilliant doctors affected you?

Class 6 have worked hard, writing short stories with flashbacks that will break your heart. Read with caution – they might make you cry!

What tense are the stories in? Does it change?

What person are the stories in?

What literary devices have these authors used to take control of their readers’ imaginations?

R.E. At Cathedral School

14/01/201614/01/2016admin

At Cathedral School, R.E. is very important to us. This week, we have been discussing what we enjoy most in R.E. at school, and advising our teachers on what we would like to do more of.

What do you enjoy in R.E.?

What have been some of your most memorable experiences?

What would you like to do more of?

Is there anything that we can do better?

Arts Week

14/01/2016admin

The first week back was Arts Week. The theme was Colourful London.

Class 6 have thought about what makes London such a colourful place. We found landmarks from the city which are clearly recognisable, and thought about contrasting colours to make them stand out. We then investigated African wax print patterns (which you see in many parts of London – on clothing, and in markets and shops) to create our collage. They are now on display in the hall – go and have look it if you can!
