The Year 6's New African Topic!

In art 6C are making clay masks whilst 6K are making a tea bag display. In yr 6 we're doing different things based on different African themes, such as:

• Collages
• Clay Masks
• Displays
  
  We're also, learning about the African climates in Geography and in History we're learning about the African history and what happened when one of the World's first man settled into Africa and also the invasion! On another hand, what happened to them years and years before we were born even before WWI and WW2 .
  
  Year 6 are excited to start new topics based on African Art, Geography and History!

Holocaust

Today is the Holocaust Memorial day and we an assembly about it with Mr.Clowes and we said some prayers lately. Yr 6 have been studying WW2 and know all about the horrific acts; this is a very sad day remembered all over the world but it is also a celebration because this is the day that the biggest death camp in the world was liberated, many of the victims did not survive but there are still a few who lived to tell the tale.

RM maths

In RMaths it helps us focus on our maths and if we complete it then we go on to smart kiddies it helps us with all sorts of maths and mostly helps with:

. ADDITION

.SUBTRACTION

.DIVISION

.MULTIPLICATION

RMaths and smart kiddies gives a boost and helps us know what we need to know.

Thank you very much, Misha J

Hotshots

Hotshots is a club on in the mornings on Friday and Monday every week. I have been going to Hotshots for nearly 2 years and I am now a Senior. We have played a lot of tournaments and still play tournaments against other schools. There is another tournament coming up and I have confidence we will win. In Hotshots you can win player of the month and player of the year plus much more. We have played against the Arbours, Roade, Boothville, all at Danes camp.

report writing

In 6c we are writing about reports. Me and my partner are doing about crop creeps. That is about the 4 crop circles that appeared near a church in Puds Woods and Mr.Puds thinks it is the work of children in need and now we have to write it in a script style.

Year 6 News Reports.

6c have been working and thinking what to write for their news reports. Tension rises as they forget capital letters, comma full stop etc. etc. The writers try and please their teacher by using words like 'juxtapose' or 'overwhelmed' even 'incomprehensible'.

On January 20th 2011 the young writers plan out their reports and get ready to publish and put it on the wall for all to see. Some or all of them recorded it, and the CD was put in a bag and hanged on the wall.

We all heard our voices on the recorder and laughed at the different voices.

After this brilliant idea on recording, Mr.Clowes thought different. Instead of hearing it on the recorder he wanted to hear it by them reading it.

Mr.Clowes enjoyed the story's and was pleased with everyone, It all paid off.
Next is poems.

new year

In year 6 we have started learning about Africa, our art work has been great with our watercolours. Also, the Comenius party are coming to our school we are learning all the national anthems so we can sing to them !!!!!!!! The Comenius party is a group of people from different schools around Europe.

In year 6 in English we have been writing reports on lots of different subjects, it's partly hard because you can't be opinionated. Also now we will be starting to do poems which will be very fun.

Also, I have recently been made a prefect and my duties are to keep everyone out of the corridors and to make sure everyone is quiet in assembly.
