Year 6 are enjoying their Day of the Dead WOW day!
This morning, the children are taking part in different activities: making pan de muertos (a traditional Mexican bread), and creating their very own water colour art with sugar skulls and all things Day of the Dead!
In our DT unit, Year 6 have been learning about chocolate, from bean to bar. Our final piece was to design and make their very own chocolate truffles! The children chose their own chocolate, flavourings and toppings to cook their truffles. They did amazingly!
In our new English unit, The Highway Man by Alfred Noyes, year 6 have been analysing the vocabulary within the poem and using their inference skills to understand the plot. They have also started to create their own story map of the narrative poem!
Amelia incorporated her violin during our music session with Mrs Stallard. Amelia is creating melody! Well done superstar!
Year 6 have started their music lessons for this half-term with Mrs Stallard. In today’s lesson, the children created melody using the glockenspiels.
What an amazing job they did!
Welcoming our new House Captains of 2024/25! The children of Year 6 who are representing our school are:
Blue house – Rebecca and Tamim
Red house – Phoebe and Billy
Yellow House – Daisy and Cael
Green house – Amelia and Parker
Within our English unit, we are focusing on persuasive letters. Yesterday, we had a whole class debate regarding a school gym being built at Christopher Pickering. The class did amazingly with rebutting their arguments!
Our final stage of our DT learning journey: making bread.
Today the children made their ‘bread in a bag’ by working through a range of instructions. They then moulded their mixture to fit with their final designs, added their desired toppings, and ended up with delicious bread that is fit for an Anglo-Saxon and Viking feast!
The pod smelt good enough to eat!
In our DT unit, year 5 are investigating, designing and making bread that is fit for an Anglo-Saxon feast.
In today’s lesson, the children watched a demonstration of how bread is made. Miss Mead showed the children the step-by-step process that must be followed to create delicious bread!
The children were extremely enthusiastic and loved to help.
Miss Mead’s class had such a brilliant time at Sirius Academy for British Science Week! We experimented with different chemicals to see how fireworks are created.
