We can critique.

Critiquing our own and each other’s work is a fabulous way to point out where we have been successful and how we can improve. 6H have been trying so hard to use this skill over the last few weeks and today it has happened without any prompting from me.  I was amazed. Standing back and listening to two of my boys give each other verbal feedback about their work during the afternoon made my heart fill with pride. Before I knew it, there was almost a Mexican wave of critiquing which circled my room.  You are awesome 6H.

Super Susie!

All of 6B impress me daily but Susie’s artwork has blown me away! The attention to detail is amazing and she has listened to the critique from her peers and produced this stunning Polar bear! Well done Susie! £50 Class cash!

Busy,busy,busy!

Another busy Monday. We have been learning about 6 digit numbers and becoming more confident in partitioning them.

We have started to draw our endangered animals in our theme lessons. Our first animal is a hedgehog.

Critiquing our plans

6B have been working really hard today to ensure their narrative plans include everything they need to achieve green/blue standard. The children have been peer coaching and carefully critiquing one another’s plans. Awesome work 6B, keep it up!

Tigers Tigers Everywhere…

6H have begun to design and critique their own images of tigers for the calendar they are going to produce during this expedition.  It was great to see all learners focused and on task this afternoon.  Hopefully the critique they have written about each others’ work will enable them to make further improvements and little tweaks tomorrow.

Grand day out

The Yorkshire Wildlife Park  was awesome yesterday! The sun was shining and all the children were excited to be out of school. We had a great workshop looking at the items that were seized.

Yorkshire wildlife park

Year 6 have really enjoyed their trip to YWP. They loved seeing all of the animals and learning about them. They particularly loved the painted dogs and their puppies!

They also really enjoyed the workshops and they learnt lots of facts about what the wildlife park are doing to support endangered animals.

We can’t wait to get started on our artwork next week inspired by the many beautiful species we saw today!

Recycling workshop!

 

This morning, 6B participated in a recycling workshop run by Doncaster council as part of our theme learning, “Our World, what are you going to do about it?”

The children learnt what packaging should go in what bin and many were stunned that there are more than one type of recycling bin! The children left the workshop very eager to encourage adults at home to take more interest in recycling!
