We finished the Easter week by flying in our own imaginary spaceship to the outer edges of our universe and used our crafting skills to make the rockets that we travelled in. We then went on an exciting exploration through the rain forest, cutting down trees and dodging wild animals and enormous spiders and snakes! To finish our immersion we made maps to show our journey and binoculars and compasses to help us navigate on our adventures. We even found time to make yummy rice crispy buns and super cute ‘bunny bottom’ Easter cards. Phew! We’ve had such good fun and can’t wait to begin our new expedition!

Have an amazing Easter weekend everyone

Lots of love from Class 6!

We’ve been having a wonderful time in class 6 since coming back to begin the summer term We had some marvelous mathmeticians with hugely improved scores in our weekly Magic Maths test and we were introduced to our final Y1 expedition – North, South, East, West. Where will your journey take you?

So far we have watched a film clip of Paddington’s journey to London from Peru and then drew pictures of him to add to different destinations, and in today’s activity we began by going on an open-top bus tour of some of London’s most famous landmarks and then made collages of the 3 monarchs’ incredible journeys that we will be learning about – Henry VIII, Victoria and Queen Elizabeth II.

Thanks to Mrs Clay and Mrs Stone our classroom already looks amazing but we can’t wait to see our own artwork proudly displayed.

Watch this space for the rest of the week’s activities!

This morning in crew time class 6 found out what bullying is…and also what it isn’t. We talked about the effects doing or saying unkind things has on others. We talked about the definition of bullying – deliberate behaviour that is done to hurt or upset someone over an ongoing period of time, and that it can be done by an individual or a group of people. We lalsoearned that there are different types of bullying….

Physical – hurting someone’s body or the things that belong to that person.

Verbal – saying mean and unkind things about another person.

Social – a form of indirect bullying where a person is excluded or left out and others are encouraged others to do the same

Cyber – sending unkind messages or spreading rumours about someone on the internet.

We also found out how to prevent being bullied and what to do if it happens to us.

Check out the video below for more information.

Just a reminder to join us if you can tomorrow afternoon for our presentation of learning. We can’t wait to share our new food preparation skills with you while making a tasty and healthy meal that we have planned ourselves and earning the Shrinky Dink charms that we created at the beginning of term. The fun starts at 2pm. We hope to see you all there!

We had a fantastic morning at the new Thorne Memorial park on Friday. We were very proud to be the first school children to be invited to try out the fantastic new equipment and ride the train. If you visit be sure to look out for the friendship stones, fairy doors and bug hotels that we have left.
