We loved exploring different vegetables and playing farmer in class this week. We explored different vegetables that might be grown and harvested at a farm in the countryside. After harvesting the crops we enjoyed tasting the different vegetables. We tasted, swede, radish, cabbage, natural yoghurt and creamy mature cheese. We have been looking at urban and rural areas and discussing as a class where we would like to live when we are older.

What an amazing start to Class 6 the children have had!
We began our week exploring our book of the week; Charlie Stinky Socks and the Really Big Adventure. The children loved the different characters that Charlie and his crew met along the adventure through the deep dark wood. They shared amazing adjectives and showed good knowledge of language that blew us away!
Their number knowledge in maths tested their knowledge of place value which then they had to use to help the pirates solve the clues to solve the problem; Who had stolen the pirates treasure map? We found the suspect just in time for the Jolly Rodger's to set sail in search for the treasure!
We are excited for our WOW starter in Topic next week which links our Geography lessons this half term to the Countryside. Share stories or family photos from times you may have visited a farm or local countryside together and discuss the following terminology as a family; cattle, stile, hedges, cobbled lane, drystone wall, resevoir.

We have had a fantastic week learning all about the history of Queen Elizabeth II. We started the week by researching what the jubilee means and what events have happened to celebrate such a fantastic time for history. We then explored the different events from the Queen's life. We used our creativity skills to use pointillism techniques to make our own art work for the Jubilee celebrations.

We have been extremely creative in our English lessons this week. We have been mini authors and have all written our own stories for Wendel to read for his bed time story.
We used our creativity as we invented our own character robot for Wendel last week and then have thought about the adventure they would go on together. We then used our imaginations and drafted our own stories, edited them and chose how to present our polished piece. Some of us used our iPad skills and used different apps like KeyNote, Pages or Notes and some of us chose to create our own zig zag books or story sheets.
The teachers as so proud of all the amazing ideas your children have thought about this week! Well Done Class 6!
