The Adventure of Life...
is to learn!
Keep an eye on our page, to see the wonderful work we will be doing this year!
As part of Mental Health Awareness week, we have been considering what makes us feel the way we do, and have been finding strategies to cope with our feelings. We even went outside to do some work on mindfulness!
Happy mind = Happy life
VIVALDI - FOUR SEASONS
This week, we have been taking part in a whole school project based on Antonio Vivaldi's famous piece of music - The Four Seasons.
As part of this work, we have written poetry, completed art work inspired by Van Gogh, interpreted the music through dance and much, much more!
Science - The Human Body
As part of our Science topic, we have been investigating our lung capacity! See us in action:
In class, we have been thinking about Remembrance Day. We have written some poems about poppies. Here is one of our spectacular poems!!
A poppy is a symbol
of someone who has died,
it sits on your chest
for people who people who have tried.
A poppy is a face clouded in worry,
A poppy is a sight of sorrow,
A poppy is for people
who hope for a better tomorrow.
A poppy is scarlet red
it dances peacefully in the fields,
for those who have passed away
without any shields.
A poppy is a broken heart
that longs to be stuck together,
A poppy is crying on my chest
and hopes this won't last forever.
A poppy is as strong as soldiers,
A poppy is a flaming fire
which helps me to remember,
the people we admire.
A poppy is memories of grief
which sticks in my heart,
A poppy listens to my heart beating
like a shooting dart.
A poppy is a sign
that is used in November,
to show our loved ones
that we remember.
On Flanders field
poppies grow,
it stays with me
wherever I go.

Our Science topic is:

Having Fun Tackling Commando Joe's Assault Course
Our Lent/Easter topic this half term is 'Giving'.
Our work will focus on:
- How loss and death brings about change for people.
- Knowing the Church's seasons of Lent, Holy Week and Easter.

We have been working hard with Commando Joe to develop our resilience, determination and team-working skills. Well done Year 6!

World Book Day
As part of World Book Day we had a poetry workshop with poet Dommy B. Here is our class limerick...
There was a young fella from Spain
And he went to court to complain
About a small pet
Killed by a sick vet
Who tried to devour his brain.
