Explanation Texts...

2 Comments

 
We are looking at explanation texts in our English lessons over the next few weeks.

We watched 'Do you know?' to see how well TV programmes that specialise in explaining things do it so well.

​What did you think was good or clear about the programme?

Today we had a quiz to help us recall and hopefully learn a bit more about what electricity actually is...

What do you want to find out in the coming weeks about electricity and light?

Have a great half term...

20/10/2016

0 Comments

 
You have made a fantastic start to Year 6! 

Have a nice break, relax and recharge those batteries for a topic all about light and electricity for when you return after half term.

There is a fancy dress party on 31st Oct (see attached image!) and if you can get to the Spectacle of Light exhibition at Sudeley Castle on 1-23rd December then that would be fantastic too (I will be there at 17:00 on Sunday 4th December, if you want to join me and my family).

For anyone who earns a Mathletic certificate next week, there will be an extra house point in it for you on your return to school!

See you after the break!

What a day...

Amazing experiences: heading off on a real steam train as an evacuee, identifying German spies, speaking to real evacuees, being in an air raid shelter, joining forces with the auxiliary fire service, handling real artefacts...

What did you enjoy? What did it make you think about?

(More photos to follow...)

Poppy Art Work

Lots of artists have interpreted poppy fields in many different ways from Monet's impressionist painting to the incredible sculpture exhibition at the Tower of London last year.

We explored wax crayons to make a semi-abstract piece today; the results were very pleasing and some of them will be on our classroom wall for remembrance day after half term.

We looked through a recent piece of work we did, to re-draft it, and 'jazz up our sentences' a little more! 

The more adventurous vocabulary you can use, the more interesting it should make it for the reader.
