Well done to this lovely bunch for winning postcards today. Iāve seen beautiful artwork, huge improvement in attendance, stunning manners and huge confidence when reading out loud in class. I am so proud of each and every one of them!
6H have been artists today. We have been hooked further into our new expedition and have learnt about plague doctors and why they wore the grotesque outfits that we associate with them.
Our gallery walk produced some effective critique that was carefully thought about and responded to in order to produce some amazing final images. See, practice does make perfect, guys! 😉
Year 5 have been dissecting hearts in science this afternoon. They have learnt all about the key components of a heart. They found it very interesting! Well done Year 5!
We started hook week working as artists by drawing pictures of plague doctors. We started with a gallery walk, identifying notices, praises and wonders of the beautiful Year 5 pencil sketches they did earlier this term. We then created remember tooās and got to work on draft one of our artwork. I canāt wait to see the finished pieces that will be displayed on our phase beautiful work display! Check our class blogs throughout the week to see the finished pieces!
Hopefully you will have seen Miss Blackhamās blog of our expedition launch on Friday. If not, maybe your child has told you about it? I know Lola couldnāt wait to tell her mum what we had been up to! 😂
Still not sure what I mean? On Friday, Y6 set forth on their new expedition: Why is it important to look after ourselves and each other? They learnt about the worst symptom of the Black Death: buboes!
See Miss Blackhamās post for the pics of our oozing buboes made from jam and custard donuts! Blurgh yet yum!
This weekās yellow T-Shirt winner in 6H is Ellie. Both Mrs Thomson and myself noticed her focus, maturity and use of incredible manners throughout every SATs paper she sat. Considering that concentration can sometimes being challenging for Ellie, we were both blown away by the attitude she displayed in a stressful situation.
This afternoon we celebrated the end of Year 6 SATs by having a treat from the ice cream van, a bbq and a rounders match against the parents. We must say the parents were very good and managed to beat the Year 6ās. We definitely need a rematch! Thank you for everyoneās support today and well done again to our amazing Year 6ās! We are so proud of you all. Have a well deserved break this weekend!
Year 6 have kicked off their expedition hook this morning and took on the role as plague doctors by taking out bacteria from buboes (jam and custard from donuts). They were in shock that doctors thought by cutting open the buboes they would be able to cure the patients! The children loved it!
