Year 5/6

2019-20

Spring Term

This term, our topic is the Indus Valley Civilisation and India. We will be learning about how they lived, their advancements and making comparisons to life in Britain. We will be investigating historical artefacts to see what we can learn about this newly discovered ancient civilisation.

Year 5/6 News

Each half term, the children will be given a project to complete as homework. This half term, I would like the children to research an area of the Indus Valley that particularly interests them. The homework can be presented in numerous ways: some writing, art work, a diagram/model or as a presentation. The completed project will be presented in class on the last week of each half term.

Pantomine

The children had an unexpected surprise and where really excited when they heard they were going to watch a pantomime - Pinocchio. A fabulous time was had by all including some of the teachers.

Bikeability Training

Once again, some of our class took part in the Bikeability training. Not only did the children really enjoy it but they learned invaluable skills in order to ride their bikes safely.

Autumn Term 2019-20

Design and Technology

In Design and technology, the children had to design a moving vehicle for someone they knew. The children were able to make the vehicles move by incorporating a pullback type mechanism using an elastic band.

For art week, the children in Year 6, researched the designer Orla Kiely. They then came up with their own designs inspired by her work. The children used craft foam to make their own stamps and built up their designs using all the different stamps they made and layers of colour.
