Christmas Craft Morning
Geography This week Y6 completed a local enquiry about population in our local area. We collected data in the form of a tally chart to see how densely or sparsely populated an area was linked to the amount of traffic that was present. Once we returned we anaylsed our data in the form of a likert chart.
Geography - This week we learnt about the contributions of climate change and though of solutions of how we could make our way of living more sustainable
PSHE - This week, Year 6 took part in an engaging PSHE workshop focused on online mindfulness. The children followed an interactive map and used a toolkit of kindness to work through different online scenarios, collecting golden coins along the way! They explored key themes such as: Staying safe online How words and emojis can be misunderstood or misinterpreted The difference between misinformation and disinformation How to avoid spreading harmful or inaccurate content Throughout the session, pupils reflected on how to apply the SCARF values — Safety, Caring, Achievement, Resilience and Friendship — to their online interactions. It was a valuable and enjoyable opportunity for Year 6 to strengthen their digital awareness and practise positive online behaviours.
Science - This week Year 6 created simple circuits using a range of components. Once they created these circuits physically, they then represented them as drawings using the correct symbols.
Literacy - This week in Literacy, Y6 created a shared narrative poem by retrieving vocabulary from our core text Wisp: A Book of Hope. We thought about the word classes used: interesting verbs to describe the wisp’s movements, adjectives for description of feelings, characters and setting and the use of similes and metaphors to create imagery and used these as inspiration to plan our poems.
PE - Netball - We developed passing and moving to maintain possession (chest pass, overhead and shoulder pass) and used a variety of attacking skills to lose a defender
Maths - We used manipulatives to identify factor pairs and create arrays to reach the product
In RE, the children discussed whether scientists could have religious beliefs and explored how science and faith can coexist. We defined the term ‘worldview’ as the way someone thinks about the world and their place in it. With that in mind, the children explored the following questions about Isaac Newton, Stephen Hawking, Francis Collins and Albert Einstein: What contributions did this scientist make to science? Did this scientist have any religious beliefs? How did they relate these beliefs with their scientific work?
This week, Year 6 identified the features of a chronological report: Title, Headings, Subheadings, Facts, Contents Page, Pictures, Captions, Index, Glossary and used these to build our own chronological report by piecing together all the features linking to our core text Planetarium.
This week in RE, Y6 investigated how different Christians interpret the creation narrative in Genesis. They studied the Literal, Day-Age and Theistic Evolution Interpretation and decided on whether faith and science could co-exist in these theories.
PE - This week Y6 participated in the Wodson park games and represented Italy as their country. They took part in a variety of sporting activities such as dance, frisbee, badminton and martial arts!
Literacy - Year 6 studied the book 'The mysteries of Harris Burdick'. The Mysteries of Harris Burdick is a collection of intriguing images created by a man named Harris Burdick, who mysteriously vanished. Each image has a title and a line of text, inviting readers to imagine their own stories. The children created a snippet of their own story using role play and writing speech sentences.
RE - This week Y6 were learning about how we came into existence and debating theories from religious and scientific perspectives.
Literacy - Year 6 started their new core book 'The Night of the Gargoyles'. The children observed the front cover and used inference skills to create curious questions linked to the text. Based on the illustrations, mood and vocabulary explored, they then used role play to created# freeze frames becoming gargoyles themselves!
