Greek Day by Andrew, Scott and Jake

This is a map of Ancient Greece, a gory paradise! It was not a full country, as it was made up of lots of different city states (who were always fighting against each other). However, if there was an invasion by the Persian army, they would all pull together and fight. Although the toughest warriors, (the Spartans) would not fight in a religious ceremony. This is why the Spartans did not help the Athenians defeat the Persians! One year six, who especially enjoyed the day commented: " I really enjoyed the day, particularly the morning."

Our Greek Day by Paige, Emily and Eleanor

On Year six's Greek Day Peneleos, a man from Horrible Histories, talked about armour from the Greek battles. Also, he picked an unlucky Year 6 to be in a battle ... just kidding! Actually, he picked a boy called Brandon to try his helmet on. Next, Peneleos got his three metre dory, actually a spear, and pointed it at the front row. All around the hall, there were screams. However, luckily, he was only acting!

ICT

In ICT we have been making our own scary movie posters. Our aim was to get people to look at it for more than three seconds, because three seconds is the average time for a movie poster. we have also been making our own animation clips. It has been really fun but also a challenge, an easy challenge! We have seen all of the others in our class.

English

In English we have been writing our own play script .We got put into groups then we shared ideas with  other groups to make sure that they link. We had 7 scenes to wright and we will be performing them to the rest of  year 6 on Wednesday the 18^th of December.

Art

In art we have learnt the artistic style called Surrealism. Using this we had a few bumps along the way but we survived, yay! In our art lesson we made collages using magazines and materials we brought in from home. Here are Callum and Luke’s!

 

Mandarin

This term we have been especially lucky to have a special teacher, a mandarin teacher, called Mrs Wang. We have been learning how Mandarin lessons go and how to say thank you and hello and a lot of other words.  Here are some words we have learnt:  ting = listen, ni hao = hello, xie xie = thank you.

Children in Need

On Friday 15^th November we had a onesie day to raise money for the charity Children in Need. Lots of children came in wearing a onesie and pyjamas, even with mad hair, never mind how silly they looked!

Welcome to our new bloggers

English

In English we have been reading a story called the Giant’s Necklace. It’s about a girl called Cherry who goes on holiday with her family and starts to make a giant necklace. So far we have read up to part 2 and now we have to write our own part 3! We look forward to you reading them later on.

 

Science

During our science lessons we have been learning about lilies and how they open.

So we carried out some tests and changed one independent variable (which means something that changes). For example some groups have changed the liquid, others have changed the temperature and even adding more weight, changing shape and size. Most groups gave a fair test by using three lilies however some groups only used two. One amazing fact is that water and fairy washing up liquid only takes 39 seconds to spread out.

OUR NEW TOPIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
