Y6 spent last Friday accessing different workshops linked to aspirations and future jobs. The children went round independently to help build their confidence for transitioning to comp.
Y6 had a cracking morning playing football to get in the mood for England’s first World Cup game tonight. Some great goals were scored! Here’s a picture of our winners – well done, Team Holland!
Y6 had their first Healthy Minds session linked to their transition to their new comp schools. The class discussed elements that they were excited and nervous about and understood how their body may react as a result of these emotions.
In our Science unit, Evolution and Inheritance, we were testing how different utensils could be used to pick up different food items. This was to symbolise how the shape of birds’ beaks evolve over time to enable them to survive.
In art, we analysed Pablo Picasso’s Guernica. It is abstract art based on the horrors of the Spanish Civil War.
We imagined ourselves to be a sofer (scribe) and made our own Torah Scrolls. It was a bit tricky to write left to right and in Hebrew.
Year 6 have been practising their athletic skills ready for their trip to Monkton Stadium next week.
Y6 had a fab time at beach yesterday, thanks to a wonderful workshop provided by South Shields Surf School. The children took part in a scavenger hunt and then created their own shelters. Well done to Y6 for their effort in digging those holes; it was quite the challenging task!
Year 6 enjoyed a post SATs reward with an afternoon of ice cream and fun in the park!
Our PE topic this half term is Rugby. We practised passing to our team, focusing on speed and accuracy and dodging to get past the opposition.
