Children enjoyed their first session of Music with Junior Jam. They thought of a range of vocabulary linked to one concept and had to create a melody using a Xylophone. They revised their knowledge on Xylophones- it is a musical instrument in the percussion family and it consists of tuned keys.
Year 6 enjoyed their Olympian Mini Gym introduction through North Kirklees School Sport Partnership.
We completed a number of activities for anti-bullying week. Some of the children took lead on delivering an anti-bullying session, we worked together to create our poem ‘One Kind Word’ and we discussed what bullying meant and the impact of anti-bullying week. Each member of Year 6 had to choose one kind word as this was the theme this year. One kind word can make an immense difference.
We enjoyed celebrating and raising awareness for Children in Need!
Children have been consolidating the four functions in Maths. They worked on their addition, subtraction, multiplication and division skills and used the CPA approach to secure their understanding.
Year 6 have found the Read to Write journey in their English lessons interesting, challenging and innovative. In the immersive phase the children explore the text type, determine the purpose and audience and go through the example text. They then move on to the anyalse phase, the plan phase and finish with the write phase. Through their journey, children gather ideas, magpie vocabulary, develop initial ideas and refine and edit their writing.
Year 6 have been studying Adonna Khare in their Art lessons. She is a pencil artist and the children analysed her pieces of work and discussed what they liked about it and what they noticed as her key style.
Children read the Diwali story and then shared their understanding through a story map. The children enjoyed this and they understood the importance of Diwali. Children learnt that the significance of Diwali was about light over darkness, patience over haste and good over evil. Some children also took part in a Punjabi dance in the Diwali showcase assembly.
Children collected work from Black History Month from each year group. Year 6 children then set up a Museum and displayed artwork and writing and confidently shared this with parents. They provided refreshments and guided parents through the museum, sharing their knowledge. It was an informative yet enjoyable event.
Children attended the Harvest assembly and then used their independent research skills to gain more knowledge about Harvest. They enjoyed this and as a result decided to use their class collection to buy more tins, rice and pasta to donate to the harvest collection. They also wrote a class poem.
Year 6 have been writing speeches about bravery and they held an awards celebration event so they could perform this. They worked on their speaking and listening skills and enjoyed themselves.
We produced a fantastic poem for National Poetry day that coincides with Black History Month
