After Easter we will be starting our new topic; Footprints in the Past. We will be studying dinosaurs, paleontology and archeology.
Science- We are learning about rocks and soils, starting out by learning about archeology. Maths- We will be learning all about angles, turns and degrees. English- We are going to be learning how to write a Newspaper Report- Dinosaurs attack Safa Park! This week, we have been studying and performing poetry in English. We had lots of fun doing that. In Maths, we have been looking at data, and tallying up everyone's favourite Easter Eggs, which just made us all crave chocolate. They have been drawing their own bar charts, and they have improved so much since last time. I am very impressed. In Science, we have been looking at the digestive system, and we did a small experiment to see how the digestive juices break up and soften food in the stomach and the duodenum. Check out the pictures below: In Topic, we finished our Art work, making Giacometti inspired armatures based on our favourite athletes. We had to manipulate wire into an athletic pose, make a clay base, wrap strips of tin foil around to build up the bodies, and finally decorate the base. Here are some of the finished ones below: We were also lucky enough to watch the amazing Pocahontas play that Y6 have been doing. Phenomenal!
Next week, we will be learning all about different types of poems in English, finishing our Giacometti inspired sculptures and finishing up our topic on shaping up and healthy eating! Kito won star of the week this week for showing a great effort in all of his lessons and working hard on his targets!
