Year Six 2022-2023

Year 6 have worked incredibly hard in pairs and individually to make their bird boxes. They have used the skills of measuring, sawing, hammering and drilling.

For our first lesson in our construction unit, we looked at the work of architect and designer Frank Lloyd Wright. We then explored an existing Bird Box discussing its features and purpose.

To end our topic all about God, we thought about what we had learnt about God from the Bible stories, hymns and prayers we have read and we asked a question that this learning had provoked.

We painted our clay pots using influence from Clarice Cliff.

To start our first week of term, y6 completed the daily mile in the sunshine.

In groups, we compared different versions of a Bible story to identify what they could tell us about the characteristics and nature of God.

In science we recapped our learning of how to classify organisms using a classification key.

 

We looked at the importance of the River Thames and how it’s changes over the years has impacted the city of London.

Today we recapped our previous skill of making a pinch pot and then moved on with a new skill of creating clay coils and joining them to the pinch pots to create height. We also practiced different techniques of smoothing joins and  surfaces to create a smooth finish.

We are working so hard to show our very best work!
The breakfast gets us off to a good start!
