Year 6 have signed up to Lego’s Build the Change challenge! The children must work in teams to design and create built spaces for specific people and purposes. There first challenge is to design and make a party space suitable for a specific person with specific needs. We have been incredibly impressed with the pupils’ great teamwork and their creative ideas when designing.
Today, 4TE were tasked to use their division skills within maths to solve a great crime! Through using great perserverence, teamwork and resilience, this bunch of budding detectives and mathematicians managed to crack the case! Great work, team!
Today, 4TE were given a very special assignment… Using their recently aquired proficiency of grid method multiplication, the children had to solve a series of questions in order to uncover a codeword which led to a stash of ‘gold’ hidden somewhere in the school! The children showed brilliant resilience and teamwork to perservere with the challenge and as can be seen, to eventually find the gold!
Today, 4TE were able to observe digestion up close and personal by taking part in an experiement which showed them all of the stages of the digestion process! Needless to say, nobody wanted to have any snacks afterwards!
Today, Year 4 have been flexing their mathematical muscles by demonstarting their recent proficiency towards grid method multipliation! These messy multiplications showed the children’s grasp and they fully enjoyed themselves. Whether this enjoyment came from the maths or writing on the tables, remains to be seen!
In Year 4’s English Cycle, we shall be writing explanation texts all about the human body for our expedition, ‘What Makes Us Human?’. These explanatory pieces of writing shall be aimed towards the infant school reception children and such, our texts need a friendly narrator! That’s where these characters come in… Today, we have been creating our explanation text narrators who are going to tell the infant children all about the human body and it must be said, they do look fantastic so far. I’m sure they can’t wait to explain all about science to the reception children!
Year 6 spent hook week looking at light and the eye. We discovered how light travels in science lessons before moving onto our focus artist: M.C. Escher. This artist was famous for drawing an image of his own eye so we sketched our own eyes in the same style. The pupils then critiqued each others’ work and completed a second draft. They were extremely proud of the outcomes!
Year 6 have been busy constructing their Solar System models this week. They have been practising the skills of sawing wood and joining materials with a hammer and nails. The models are coming along nicely and the pupils can’t wait to show them off during their presentation of learning.
4TE have been flexing their musical muscles this afternoon with some beautfiul and energetic renditions of ‘This Little Light of Mine’. The children had loads of fun and shall likely be repeating the song all the way home!
Year 6 have been enjoying their Sing Up music sessions this half term. Today, we learned how to keep a strong, steady beat using cups whilst singing What Shall We Do With A Drunken Sailor.
