Wow! What a busy term so far in Year Six! The children have achieved so much already and they are enjoying their learning.
Below are some pictures illustrating what we've been up to.
We have made blood soup as part of our science unit of work. The children learnt what the four components of blood were and used food items to represent each component, making their blood soup!
The children, after being inspired by their Legoland trip, made their own Lego fairground rides. They incorporated motors into their models and coded it to provide a desired motion - great fun!
As part of their history unit 'The Ancient Maya', the children have engaged in a range of activities to learn all about the ancient civilisation. This includes writing Maya numbers on the playground in chalk and creating a timeline of events through the ancient Maya's history.
On top of this, children have been mastering the four operations of calculation in maths. We have loved seeing the fortnightly arithmetic test scores go up and up each week! We are soon going to be conquering Year Six fractions!
In English, the children have been enthused with the learning. We have written morality tales and read them to Year Three children, written newspaper reports about stolen Maya masks in the school (naughty Mrs Hamilton-Peck!) and they are currently writing discussion texts about whether graffiti is art or vandalism.
The children should be very proud of themselves!
