Monday 20th September - Friday 25th September 2020

This week we have thought about taking risks and our comfort zones.

We were presented with the question- which path would you take: the safe path or the risky path?

In English this week, we learned that Mina (a character from Skellig) is homeschooled. We debated whether we think school or home is the best place to learn. We had lots of interesting ideas- especially since we have all experienced some home schooling earlier this year!! 

Have a look at some of our fantastic balanced arguments below.

In science this week we have been learning all about the Circulatory System.

We each had a key question to research and then we could present our learning in a creative way. 

Take a look at the wonderful posters and leaflets about the heart, blood and  blood vessels. 

Monday 14th September - Friday 18th September 2020

This week we have been art critics!

We described what we could see in the different images by Banksy and then gave our opinions.

In geography, we have been testing our knowledge of the World  by creating globes.

They were pretty tricky to assemble but we got there in the end by working with our learning buddies and helping each other out!

Monday 7th September - Friday 11th September 2020

Our text for this half term is Skellig by David Almond. We used the front cover to make predictions.

We had lots of interesting ideas!

Our school value for this half term is 'Respect'

6B were set the challenge of creating a sign/symbol that represents respect. I think you will agree they did a really good job!

Thursday 3rd September - Friday 4th September 2020

Our first pieces of art are up in our Art Gallery!

I am Strong like a Tree!

We thought about what a tree might represent.

Our roots are what helps us achieve and succeed.

The wind blowing our trees are any challenges and difficulties we might face.
