5.12.25

 Year 6,

This week you have completed a lot of learning. In English, you have continued to write fantastic narratives and in maths you have been working on converting measures. In science, you considered the importance of exercise on the health of the heart and which exercises are most popular in class. In geography, you considered birth and death rates and what might impact these, and in PSHE you thought about how differences may impact people and how they can be celebrated. You were also given then opportunity to vote on what I do with money for Christmas - a small gift for yourself or a donation to a charity. We were so impressed with the majority vote being to give the money to charity that Mrs Stevenson will be matching the money that I was going to spend. Well done!

Next week will be a little different to usual. You are going to have the opportunity to complete some more SATs papers. This will give you a chance to show what you can do and to become more familiar with the process. Aside from these, you will continue to write your narratives and will continue to work on units of measure. On Monday you are going to be visited by a Deputy Lord Lieutenant who will talk to you about their role and about British Values. On Friday, you will be celebrating Christmas Jumper Day and having Christmas Dinner Day – remember that this is the year where you get to serve the staff too!

Half Term project– Super Sculptors

This half term I would like you to focus your project on a particular sculptor. These are artists who create sculptures. The sculptor you study could be a classic or modern sculptor. Your learning outcome should include a presentation section and a creative section. As some of you have asked, yes you could study a piece of architecture and the architect who designed it.

The presentation part could be Word processed or a handwritten project. It must give information on the sculptor that has inspired you and how you have tailored their work to create your piece. Please ensure that this is your own work and not copied directly from somewhere else (remember our learning on copywrite). This must be able to be shared offline, as you will be developing your public speaking skill by presenting to a small group about your sculptor and your piece.

The creative part could be a drawing, painting, model or sculpture but must be inspired by the sculptor you have researched.

This should demonstrate the research you have put in over the weeks before the deadline of Monday 15^th December, when you will share your learning with the class. 

 

Attached is a link from Mrs Lawrence to help you practise for the Carol Concert. You can copy this into a browser for it to work.
