Christmas in Year 6!
We have had an amazing first term in Year 6 and have enjoyed finishing the term off with lots of end of term Christmas magic! We listened to Mr Scott’s musicians, the Rock Steady performance, enjoyed the Christmas party, watched a pantomime and ended the celebrations walking to Church to watch Year 3.
Autumn 2
Science
Our topic this half term is living things and their habitats. We began by casting our minds back to remember the broad classification groups for animals.
Year 6 looked amazing in their Christmas outfits today and enjoyed the reindeer run to raise money for Wakefield Hospital.
Art -
We have finally finished our Art topic which was around 2D drawing to 3D making. We loved having the opportunity to redesign common packing and make it more appealing to people who buy the products everyday! Here are our final designs.
Golf
In PE this half term, Year 6 are taking part in Golf lessons. For week 1, the children learnt how to putt from short distances. They learnt how to hold the club correctly and thoroughly enjoyed the session.
Music
In Music, we are looking at different rhythms and have started by recapping what a minim, quaver and crotchet are. We even looked at rests and then had a very practical session clapping the rhythms.
Science
In Science, our topic is ‘Evolution and inheritance’ and we have been learning about adaptations as well as Charles Darwin’s Theory of Evolution.
Design Technology
Topic - Playgrounds
The children have been exploring different playgrounds and have been set the challenge of designing their own playground. They had to make sure they designed 5 pieces of apparatus which connected together in some way. They then got to make their playground designs using recycled materials.
French
Year 6 are thrilled to begin learning French again with Madame Bex! This week we celebrated International Day of Languages and the children loved watching and spotting how many different languages they could hear in a popular song, ‘ We don’t talk about Bruno’ !
DT
Here are images of the children’s final designs! They have loved taking part in all three phases: designing, making and evaluating their playgrounds.
Science
After spending two weeks learning about the different types of fossils and how they are formed, Year 6 were tasked with creating 2 fossils which they had to keep a secret from everyone in class so that we could guess what fossil type it was based on their clues.
