SUCCESS!
ART We went outside to draw some CARNIVAL people; we used a range of bright coloured chalk and wrapped up warm. Look at some of the AMAZING pictures!
History
In our Victorian school Miss Banks taught standard 6 today (Jane from 'History Alive' taught Y6 today. They were transported back in time to VICTORIAN BRITAIN. What a great experience!
ROBOT INVASION!
Using our robots we wrote stories and poems, created passports and drew our ideal helpful robot. If you could have a robot to help you, what would it do? Year 6 came up with loads of ideas, for example:
complete our homework
do the washing up
produce chocolate and toffee on command
clean our bedrooms
help mums with housework (that's lovely!)
We have read a story called 'Street Child' by Berlie Doherty. WE LOVED THIS STORY! At the end, we discovered that the story was true and based on a real young boy called Jim Jarvis. This young boy had a difficult childhood but in the end he was saved and helped by Dr Barnie (Thomas Barnardo). Barnardo's is a charity which is still successful after all these years.
Year 6 completed an egg challenge. The childen had to decorate a hard boiled egg and care for it for a week. The children succeeded in the challenge and the eggs were really cared for (we only had a few eggs that had to attend eggy hospital)!
