In our expedition lesson today we looked at what life may have been like back in the Stone Age. We studied images from a well preserved prehistoric site called Skara Brae. The children used jamboard to generate notices and wonders which will then provide a basis for our future learning. Here are just some of the great ideas and questions they were coming up with.
We had a wonderful lesson on Friday! We completed lots of quizzes and also worked our brains hard to solve maths brainteasers!
Do you fancy being entered in to a prize draw?
Every time you read a book and quiz on Accelerated Reader you will earn a raffle ticket!
All raffle tickets will be entered into the prize draw to be in with a chance of winning money vouchers at half term!
Teachers will keep a check on who has quizzed each week and will sort out the appropriate amount of raffle tickets for your child!
If you don’t have books at home, want to swap your books or just need general support please email your phase leader.
Good luck!
Y6 have been creating some dinosaur fossil pictures using art straws! As you can see, they are taking shape nicely!
The Y6 children in school took part in an English escape room today putting their spelling and grammar knowledge to the test!
Each group had to solve 8 clues to be able to escape the classroom but unfortunately my clues were too tricky and no one did! I hope they’ll be okay in there overnight?!
Well done to Team Jim Bob who got 6 out of the 8 digits and almost escaped!!
 
Today, the Y6 children in school started their lovely watercolour Stonehenge pictures! Check back to see the finished product!
This afternoon, the children were creating their own watercolour painting based on Stonehenge, which we have looked at as part of our expedition. The children created a water colour background before adding black paper to create a Stonehenge silhouette. Hopefully we will be able to showcase their final pieces at a later date.
Thomas has been creating some fantastic watercolour paintings in his own time this week. Everyone in Year 6 thinks that they look amazing. Well done Thomas, keep it up!
Following our maths lesson today, we spun the ‘reflective protocol wheel’ and reflected on the lesson by noticing, wondering and questioning our understanding:
I am so proud of the Y6 children and the work they’ve been doing online. After the maths lesson today, the children reflected upon their learning by collaborating on a Jamboard. How impressive is this??!! Click the image and take a look…
