Daily blog: 8th May



Revising hard!
Year 6 children will be taking their SATs next week and are revising hard! Today we have been making sure we can tackle the 3 mark reading questions confidently.




                     -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This afternoon it was back to our independent learning project; the children are researching information about hot deserts and are creating a learning wall together.  They have developed the success criteria for the project themselves and have all selected quite different tasks to work on. Next week we hope to see the classroom transformed as all their hard work comes together.


Here children are working as a team to create a chart showing animal food chains in the desert. They've researched well and are now preparing their text, pictures and arrow lines ready to assemble it on the wall...

We used Motif from Hammamet by Paul Klee (1879-1940) as our starting point...



We trialled some ideas in our sketch books.

Eggtastic challenges!


Will it hold up?
The winner at 70cm and it held up for a minute!

The second part of the challenge was to use 4 sheets of paper and 40 cm of tape to protect the egg when dropped from a height of 2 and half metres.

Not many survived!
