Our Gospel value for this half term is: LOVE

What is LOVE?

How can we show LOVE in our day to day lives? We will be looking in to this, this half term.

Science

We are learning about light in Science and we looked at refraction and reflection. Using mirrors to look behind us to find the hidden picture or message was fun!

English

During learning about balanced arguments, we held a debate where both sides of an argument were presented and discussed so an audience could make a fair decision on their opinion.

THE BIG DEBATE: SHOULD MOBILE PHONES BE ALLOWED IN PLACES OF LEARNING?

What is a debate?

A debate is a discussion between two sides with different views. Debating is a more formal way of communicating our ideas and opinions. Simply put it is an argument, but rather than shouting, a debate has strict rules to follow. Reasons must be backed up with evidence. Debating encourages: critical thinking, personal expression and a tolerance of other’s thinking. The Speaker opens the debate and explains the debate rules and the question to the audience. The argument is presented to an audience, who have to vote at the end.

ART

We have been working hard on our art project of making 3D Slab pots inspired by Charlotte Hupfield. Look at us at work!

Look at the finished results… they are truly fabulous and the detail from the plants is amazing!

PSHE

What a fabulous couple of days we have had learning to be safe when on bikes. We learnt about the ‘M check,’ to check our bikes are road worthy and about the ‘6 Ls’ to learn how to mount our bikes correctly. From this we practised our skills on the playground to then go out on the road safely. Some children persevered on the skill of riding a bike and becoming confident riders while others were on the road learning the Highway Code and being road confident.

So proud of all our Year 6!

ART

Just look at our art work! We are very proud of them. We looked at the style of Julian Opie and how he draws portraits then we used this as inspiration for our own work. The results are amazing!
