This week, 6CC have been exploring what makes an effective action sequence. Following two analysis lessons, our crew have produced some brilliant piece of writing about Indiana and the Golden Idol. Check out a few of their brilliant efforts below!

Recently, year 6 have been recapping the four operations and the strategies we must use to solve calculations (test your child on them at home!). Today, the students became the teachers as fifteen pupils were chosen to mentor their peers by critiquing their use of strategies and guiding their partner through the questions when they became stuck. It was really pleasing to see the kind and empathetic manner in which the children engaged with each other, adjusting to the pace of the learner.

Well done, Crew! Exceptional work! 🙂

During the last week before a well-deserved half term, 6CC worked tremendously hard to refine their drawing skills in preparation for drafting part of the final product for this term’s expedition. After some continuous line drawing, the children drew the outlines of iconic pictures from our history before experimenting with a variety of media to apply colour to their creations.

Upon returning to school on the 2nd November, our crew will be on a mission to finalise their pictures. Be on the lookout for our calendar in the near future!

A very busy yet exciting week for 6CC! Delving further into our expedition, the children learned about the different kinds of discrimination in our history and how these key battles for equality have shaped our current landscape today. The insightful visit on Wednesday  helped the children to empathise with victims of discrimination. Well done, Crew CC!
