Wednesday 27 November 2024 Year 6 participated in the Institute of Imagination's 'Wild Cities' Workshop "Last week Year 6 participated in the Institute of Imagination's 'Wild Cities' Workshop where we learned all about sustainable architecture and buildings across the world that have been inspired by different animals. We used what we learned to then create our own sustainable buildings made out of Lego and junk materials. We used the animal and building type cards to create a frog inspired school, butterfly hospital and shark football stadium. We can't wait to use these buildings are inspiration for making our own cities based on Brazil!"

Thursday 31 October 2024 Year 6's Greek Day! It was Year 6’s Greek day! It was a fantastic opportunity for the children to immerse themselves in the rich culture and history of ancient Greece. The classrooms were decorated with creative homework projects from Greek-themed artwork to innovative models of ancient Greek architecture. At the start of the day, the children, dressed as ancient Greek Gods, Goddesses and mythical creatures, proudly showcased their costumes to their peers and teachers. They then put their PE skills to the test with the Greek Olympics and showed their creative side when making beautiful mosaics.
Monday 14 October 2024 Year 6 Visit the V&A Last week Year Six ventured all the way to South Kensington to visit the Victoria and Albert Museum to observe real Greek Pots! We first completed a tresure hunt where we found out what year the pots were from, the location they were excavated and their key features. Once we had taken note of all of these things, we then sketched our favourites in preparation for making our clay versions.
Monday 14 October 2024 Year 6 Explore Advertising In Year 6, we have been reviewing existing adverts and promotional films to help guide us in making our own advert to promote online safety. Last week, we sourced a range of media from the internet (taking into consideration copyrighting) and this week we videoed our footage. We are having so much fun creating them and can't wait for you to see the finished videos!
Wednesday 2 October 2024 Year 6 Recreate the Battle of Marathon! 'Last week year 6 recreated the origins of London's favourite race , the Marathon! We learnt how the heroic Pheidippides ran an entire 25 miles from Marathon to the city of Sparta to inform the soldiers of their victory in the Peloponnesian War - almost as long as the walk from the mobile classrooms to assembly! We created a range of freeze frames and actions that matched the narration that was read aloud to us to improve our speaking and listening skills. Our favourite part was re-enacting Pheidippides' incredibly dramatic death following his announcement! After this, we then heard about the evil deeds of King Xerxes of Persia and how he failed at winning war against the Greeks.

In English, we are studying different Greek myths and we are working towards writing our own. In Topic, we have been looking at the Ancient Greece timeline and this has led us onto looking at different Greek artefacts.

Wednesday 26 June 2024 Year 6 - Two Action Packed Weeks! The last two weeks have been action packed for Year 6! The week before last we created our Sky Arts weeks videos based on two scenes from the Secret Garden. We were given the choice between either the super creepy scene with the owner of the house, or the joyful garden exploring scene. We chose the lighting, filters and camera angles to make these the most effective for the audience and then used our editing skills even better! Following this, last week we participated in our school wide Quidditch competition where we represented our teams in some (very warm) matches. We used our team working skills to earn as many points as possible for our team captains who bravely announced the scores to the school.
Wednesday 19 June 2024 Year6 are Junior Entrepreneurs! This half term, we took part in the Junior Enterprise Project and completed work towards our Fiver Challenge! We had to make a profit from £5, which was provided by the school. We made our business, created our business name, designed a logo, presented our sales pitch and sold our product on our stall during the Fiver Challenge fair. It was such an enjoyable experience raising money for our end of Year 6 party! Along the way, we learnt a lot about finance helping us with life skills.
Friday 14 June 2024 Year 6 Visited Mission Grove School Last week Year 6 went to visit our friends at Mission Grove School as part of Waltham Forest's Junior Citizens programme. We got to hear fantastic range of talks from the people who teach us to be responible citizens such as the Fire Brigade, the Police, Transport for London and Project Zero. The highlight of our trip was getting to roleplay scenarios that could happen on public transport on a real life bus! Additionally, we spoke to Leyton Orient about our feelings towards the transition to secondary school and just how much homework we might recieve! Overall, we certainly feel a little more prepared for life beyond primary school.
