This week we started our new Computing lessons using KeyNote on our iPads. We used our facts we had learnt so far about Space to add some information to our slides. We look forward to building our presentation over the next few weeks in order to share these facts with other people around school.

We loved venturing to the International Space Station on Tuesday! We began our new history topic (The Space Race) by visiting the international Space station and having a virtual call with astronaut Chris Hadfield. He taught us how to survive on the space station by keeping our hair, teeth and hands nice and clean! We cannot wait to learn more about space over the coming weeks!

This week we ended our topic 'The Countryside' with a fantastic virtual farm trip where we met Farmer Dotty and learnt lots about the jobs she has to do on her farm.
We started by meeting the goats and listening to Lola the goat sing. Farmer Dotty then took us to met her sheepdog who had a very important job on the farm. She showed us how the sheepdog herds the sheep across the field each day so that they can eat different patches of grass.
We then went to the coop where we met Elizabeth the hen and all her friends. We were able to look inside the coop at 3 different types of eggs- maybe you could ask your child what colours they were?
Finally, Farmer Dotty showed us her solar panels and explained how she is using them to keep her farms electric and hot water running.
What a fantastic finish we had!

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!

This week we have become Key Note experts. We have been using our computing skills in our History and Literacy lessons. We used our skills to create an online app giving facts all about our Space learning. We then used the Key Note app to create our very own E-book (Electronic) book. We added audio, photos and text to each page to make our story the best! We loved becoming real life authors!
