Curve Stitching

Hey Everyone! In Maths we are doing stitching. First we drew the designs on paper. Then we got card and drew out the design and put holes through with a compass.

Year 6 going secondary school

My opinion about the hardest part of leaving your primary school to go to your secondary school is from being the highest year of the school to the lowest year of the school which is pretty scary when your used to being on top of the school to knowing there are children older than you in your new school. That could be very frustrating. jca

Take 1 and Action!

This week year 6 have been reading, writing and acting out the play, Macbeth. It's a tragedy play, set in Scotland. About a man who is noble, strong and brave. Driven by his wife, who became mad with power, he became evil, greedy and cold hearted.

Macbeth, as we learned, was a good man, then became to believe in the witches prophesy and a serial killer! After writing about the summary of Macbeth and lady Macbeth ( his wife) ,we moved on to acting ( the best part). I became one of the witches ( watch out!) and i know the word are old fashion but what the heck! This is what i had to say " Any one born from a woman shall not harm Macbeth" ( I thought everyone's born from a woman!) Then when I found out Macduff killed Macbeth it got all complicate but then I understood. (Macduff ain't born from no woman)

In this play I say there we lots of day dreaming, daggers in the air, a ghost and blood on your hands?

Leaving St Gregory's

Soon Year six will be leaving St Gregory's as they will be moving up to secondary school. Some will be going to NSB, NSG, Lings Academy, Moulton, Thomas Becket and Kingsthorpe. A couple of people are excited whilst others are sad to leave, but also quite excited as they are starting a new adventure! The most scary thing I think that everyone is a bit scared of is being the oldest children in the school - turning into the youngest children in the school!

SAT's and moving school

Now Sat's is finally over (yes!!!) school is not as stressful, because we don't get as much homework as before. The science test B was very difficult compared to test A. I thought the maths test was not that difficult but towards the end it was harder.
In school we had to make a paper pulp with torn newspaper also put water in it. Then we put newspaper on a plastic small cereal type bowl. We used newspaper, water, a bucket and a bowl to do this. I found it fun when we made it however I did get wet at some times.
In I.C.T we are starting to use Skype and I find it quite fun. I co-incidentally went on my dad's Skype yesterday to talk to my cousins in London for 5 minutes. In the mornings year 6 are not allowed to go RM maths because year 5 are doing it.
I now know what school I'm going to and it's ... Thomas Becket. My mum and dad wanted me to go to NBS but I did not get in unfortunately. I feel nervous that I'm moving school but happy as well so I have mixed feeling. I'd just have to wait and see.

Internet safety

In school, for our I.C.T lesson we get to do skype. It is fun. Even though we all have a laugh it is part of our internet safety programme. We get to do web cam and talk on the microphone. It is really great fun, but we should be really safe about what we do on the internet because people could want to know our details and they would want to meet up with us. This is a really bad thing because if we meet up with them something really bad could happen!

SO! ... We should be S.M.A.R.T:

1. Safe - not giving out your personal details.


2. Meeting - people you have contacted could be very dangerous.


3. Accept - people you do not know could get you into serious trouble.


4. Reliable - people could be lying about what they are saying and their age and details.


5. Tell - always tell someone you know and that you can rely on.

These are the internet safety rules. Also never communicate with a stranger you do not know.

Paper Bowls

During a period of time, Year 6 have been making bowls with newspaper. This all started when we had to rip and tear pieces of newspaper and put them in a bucket in warm water to make it go mushy. Over the last few days the newspaper has been getting soggy. Although it looked disgusting it was fun!

After that, we had to put the newspaper on the bowls and cover it completely. A lady came in to help us and I enjoyed it. I was a bit worried because the newspaper was TOO soggy and it wouldnt stick to the bowl. I covered my bowl with the newspaper and lifted it up, but then afterwards it collapsed when i had put it back down again. Luckily it didn't take me long to re-do it.

We then took the bowls outside to let them dry quicker, it took a really long time and I had to be patient. My bowl is completely dried now. All I have to do is paint it my own colour and take it home to use when it is finally finished and dry!

Making Paper Bowls

Hi Everyone! We are making paper bowls this week. It has been so much fun. First we got as much newspaper as we can get. Then we put them in buckets and put water in. The newspaper went into a pulp. We then got clingfilm and covered the bowl with it. After we stuck the newspaper on top of the clingfilm. We left the bowls to dry. Later on in the week we are going to be painting them any colour we want. How fun!
