A taste of our learning
Levelling up our Level 1 and 2 balances - P.E
Our P.E unit this term develops our prior learning of balances and skills from previous years. We have been creating routines that incorporate these skills and will develop this to use equipment in our routines too!
Key questions to ask at home:
How can I strengthen my core?
What makes a good routine?
Working Collaboratively - P.S.H.E
In PSHE this week, our challenge was to create a 30cm bridge that could hold a chosen object. We had to work as a team, have active participants, listen to all ideas as well as create an eye-catching, unique design!
Key questions to ask at home:
What does working collaboratively mean?
How can I be an active learner?
Edward Hopper - Art
Our second lesson from our art unit taught us how to use form to draw 3D shapes effectively. We focused on depth and length to make them pop from the page before we added shadow and texture to symbolise light coming from the left.
Key questions to ask at home:
Who was Edward Hopper?
What type of art did he create?
Year 6's Learning Behaviours and Rights Respecting Charter
During our first few days back, we created our Learning Behaviours display and our Rights Respecting Class Charter. We focused on ideas that would ensure we were acting as good role models around the school, whilst still growing in our own independence and learning journey.
