Team LL and AF are thoroughly enjoying our music lessons. We are exploring old school hip-hop. We have listened to and appraised The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, compared it with genres taught previously. We are rehearsing the verses ready to perform and have been using glockenspiels to explore the pulse.

In Year 6 as part of our work around Buddhism we have been learning about the four Noble Truths and Eightfold Path. We are also exploring the impact of inspirational religious leaders. As part of our learning in Spanish we are completing a unit on regular verbs. To begin with we have been learning pronouns. Year 6s apply their knowledge and vocabulary of colour theory. They spent time analysing key pieces of art in our class gallery and talking about the impact of the colour choices of the artist. Team LL have started their science learning based on electricity and circuits. We have learnt about key figures and innovators in the field of electricity. We have also explored and found out about renewable and fossil fuels. We have also produced work around the importance of staying safe around electricity. We are now looking forward to the practical elements of investigating more complex circuits.
This term we are exploring natural disasters and will be working in groups to create models based on natural disasters. In preparation for this we have been exploring images and the impact of natural disasters. We have been developing sketches in our art books and exploring the use of pencil crayons, pastels and charcoal to represent mood and movement. We have worked on mixed media drawing incorporating photographic images and have begun to discuss plans for our final 3d model in our groups. Our artist of the half term is JMW Turner we have been exploring his techniques for representing extreme weather in his artwork. As part of our computing lesson, we have been using Purple Mash for coding. We first started by coding a game called ‘Splatty Bug’. We had to create an algorithm so that the timer would work, the player would get a score and the bugs would splat if you clicked them. We then made these our own and changed the background and some other aspects. Throughout this, we used our computing skills to debug any errors. Here is an example:  After receiving a letter from Alex Rider Y6 were tasked with unpicking the text and using their inference skills to suggest pros and cons for taking the mission. In groups children created a diamond 9 of poins and explained their choices. The Year 6 team would like to start by saying a huge well done to our pupils. They have come in and worked their socks off! Well done to all of them! MathsIn Maths this week, our Year 6 children have been learning about how to use additives and multiplicatives to form a whole. Then children have enjoyed using Cuisenaire rods to develop and show there understanding. We are really proud of the learning that has taken place and how well the children have presented their understanding! LiteracyIn our Literacy learning this week we started off with a challenge! The children were challenges to write a description of a volcanic eruption.
Incredible Me/PSHEThis week we have started to think about new beginnings. It has been a huge week for us as we think about what we would like to achieve in our last year at Park Street.
