I want to say a huge well done to everyone in Class 6. I have been so proud with the way the children have applied themselves to assessment week. The amount of different learning powers I have seen in action has been brilliant. It would have been extremely difficult to have chosen the person to receive the effort badge this week.
Alongside assessments we have also been enjoying other areas of the curriculum.
On Monday the children went swimming and later on in the week (Wednesday) we continued to choreograph our next new sports dance. We have been really thinking about the different ways in which to structure the dance. We are aiming to record the final performance nearer to the end of term.
On Tuesday with Mrs Archer the children have started to turn their attention to the next art project based on puffins. The children worked on detailed sketches, which look amazing. I can’t wait to see the clay sculptures.
We have been looking at some deep questions within RE and using our creative skills and learning powers to produce our learning. The first lesson was, ‘Will I make a difference to the world in my lifetime?’ The discussion in class was extremely interesting and some fantastic ideas. We have even been planning a way in which we can demonstrate the value of ‘generosity’ as a class, and look to giving to the local community. This led us nicely on to the Big Question: God of three parts – what does this mean? It is so lovely to see all the different and very individual interpretations of this. As this is a whole school big question I shall be putting up a display of children’s learning, across the school.
Young Worship led a beautiful remembrance assembly this morning to the whole school. Everyone displaying the value of respect and demonstrating that our school values are with us at all times even though we focus on different values each half term.
Next week is of course Family Week. The children love sharing their learning with a member of their family. Class 6 is a morning session, which will consist of two parts; a range of typical activities that we cover in English and Maths but will also include activities throughout the curriculum.
I do hope you have a lovely weekend. Homework will be given out next week, starting with spellings on Tuesday. Thank you for the continued daily reading. I enjoy reading the comments that are made. I have even seen children being organised and recording their choices from the homework grid. This is valuable learning and great for transitioning to secondary school. Please remember to have these reading records signed by an adult.
