Monday 23rd November - Friday 27th November 2020
This week we have enjoyed an interactive zoom session with CBBC! We watched part of an episode of 'The Dumping Ground' and thought about how different characters might act in various situations.
We have continued with our World War 2 topic- which is a popular topic in the class. In history we have researched about Manchester during World War 2 and presented our learning in a fact file. I am so impressed with the presentation in our History books- each page looks unique! We have also completed some art work inspired by WW2. Have a look at some fantastic examples below.

The Manchester Blitz
Monday 16th November 2020- Friday 20th November 2020
This week we have journeyed back to the 1950's. We listened to music from popular artists and debated whether rock n roll or soul music is better. Elvis and 'Blue Suede Shoes' and Ray Charles 'Hit the Road Jack' were the two most popular songs in the class.
We have been developing our reading skills using Vipers.
Today we worked in pairs to answer questions about Goodnight Mr Tom
In History, we continued learning all about WW2. We thought about the different sacrifices made by people during the war and about rationing. We also learnt all about the Blitz and how people tried to protect themselves with air raid shelters, gas masks and blackouts.

Equalities Week
This week, we have been learning all about Japan and the Japanese culture.
We have learnt fun facts about Japan, tried writing in Japanese, created artwork, written Haiku poems, made and tasted sushi and learnt about Japanese music and instruments- what a busy week!!
We were visited by a story teller, who has inspired us to re-tell our own Japanese story.
Storytelling- Wabi Sabi
Take a look at our Japanese inspired art work. I think you will agree that it looks pretty impressive!
We also wrote a Haiku to accompany our artwork
Sushi making!

Welcome back 6B!
It is lovely to be back together in the classroom and ready to do some fantastic learning!
This week has certainly been a busy one so a big well done for all of your hard work.
This week we have started our new 'Light' topic in science. Our big question is "Can we believe our eyes?". We thought about key vocabulary, what we already know and what we would like to know. Have a look at these super title pages.
