Our Autumn Term Adventures
Evacuee Experience Day
As a part of our Ship, Shape and Bristol Fashion WWII topic, we had an evacuee day. We dressed as evacuees and thought about how it might have felt to be moved away from home. To help us, we used the experiences that we had read about in our class text: Letters from the lighthouse.
Artists in the making
In our art discovery, we learned about the work of Henry Moore and practised a range of techniques to decide which of these we thought would help us recreate his work depicting scenes from WWII.
Rationing Recipe Baking
We have made some delicious carrot and sultana buns based on a rationing recipe. We had a great time building on our knowledge of rationed ingredients.
Tennis Taster Session
We had a brilliant time giving Tennis a try this week with some fabulous local coaches. We developed our forehands and backhands and lots of us are excited to give it another go in the future. Perhaps the next Andy Murray or Emma Raducanu is in our class!
Remembrance Blackout Poetry
We created some really beautiful blackout poetry in honour of Remembrance Day. We took some famous poems and chose words or phrases that we thought created a new powerful poem.
Diwali Dance Class
Year 6 had a fantastic dance workshop where we represented the Ramayana story. Here is our monkey god- Hanuman.
We also learned about how dance is an important part of celebration for many Hindus.
