Term 2

This term, Year 6 are going to be looking at the enquiry 'What have the Victorians taught us about working life?'. Through this enquiry, we will be looking at two Global Goals: Goal 8 - Decent work and economic growth and Goal 10 - Reduced inequalities. Throughout the enquiry, our lead state is Being a Historian. As well as this, we are going to be continuing our work around the book Cogheart in our writing to further immerse ourselves into the Victorian era.

Being Lowinger:

Last week, our House winners for Term 1, were able to enjoy some homemade pizzas! Here are some pictures of the children enjoying their well-earned treat!

Being Theologians: 

For interfaith day, the children in Year 6 focused on Humanism and their emphasis on Nature and Light. Because of this, we focused on sunsets and sunrises and how they demonstrate the beauty of our planet. The children used watercolours to demonstrate this beauty and here are some wonderful examples!

Being Athletes: 

In Indoor PE, we have been learning about and performing Bollywood. The children have started with hand movements and then moved onto feet movements. They have been working really hard to remember all of the moves and perform them with skill!

Being Athletes:

This week, we have started playing Hockey in Outdoor PE. We have focused on our stick control and ball dribbling skills and thinking about manoeuvring around spaces and obstacles. We set up a little challenge course to really test us to our limits!

Term 1

This term, Year 6 are going to be looking at  the enquiry 'How has our understanding of the human body changed over time?'. Through this enquiry, we will be looking at Global Goal 3 - Good Health and Wellbeing and our lead state is Being a Historian. As well as this, we are going to be looking at the book Cogheart in our writing to immerse ourselves in the Victorian era as we travel through time in enquiry. 

Being historians and scientists

This term, we have been looking at the enquiry question 'How has our understanding of the human body changed over time?'. In order to show off our understanding, we have been creating a presentation to share with our parents, explaining all of the weird and wonderful things we have learned about the changes in medicine throughout the ages. We worked tirelessly to create an engaging piece of work that we are super proud of. Please take a look at the pictures of our final pieces below.

Being Orators:

This week, we have had the pleasure of sharing our work with 4GE to practice for sharing our work with parents/carers at the oracy morning and afternoon next week. We did our best to use the sentence stems and supported the Year 4s in doing the same.

Being a Metacog:

Alongside our Enquiry, we have been recapping what it means to work together as a team successfully. We discussed good and bad teamwork and then put it to the test by building a spaghetti tower. We found it really difficult but we tried really hard to be patient and share out the responsibilities!

Being a writer - National Poetry Day!

This week, we were excited to step away from our normal daily routine to immerse ourselves into the world of poetry. We started by creating our own rhymes and then we went on to explore a range of poetry books. One book we focused on in particular was Poems Aloud by Joseph Coelho. We then used one of his poems 'The bones of Pampachiri' as inspiration for our own poems about different places. In the afternoon, we rehearsed and recited a poem ready for all of our parents to see. 

Being a Musician:

This week in 6ER we have added Glockenspiels to our music rehearsals! After we discussed all the different musical elements, we then added in instruments to this term's song - It's All About Love! Here is a video of one of the rehearsals, how brilliant!

Being a Scientist and Athlete

This week, in 6ER we have completed a scientific enquiry titled 'How does exercise impact the heart?' where we have investigated the change in heart rate depending on a change in exercise. Here are some pictures of the children carrying out the practical element of our experiment! What brilliant athletes and scientists they are!

Being a Musician

This week, in 6ER, we have been musicians by using our voices as instruments, being able to evaluate songs and using our musical knowledge to identify the genre of the song. We also explored the dynamics, tempo and pitch of the song before trying it out ourselves!  Here are some pictures of us warming up and practising the singing.

Being a Historian

 This week, in Enquiry we have been learning about the Black Death and the Medieval times and how they coped with this awful disease! The children researched and learnt about how they attempted to prevent the great plague and created posters warning others about it. Here is their brilliant historical artistic work!
