Steps for Sketching, by Zuhrah

Step 1. We would make a similar shape with a sketching pencil. Step 2. We will add the ears, lips, arms and legs and we will rub out the light bits. Step 3. Add its paws, tail, nose and the claw tips. Last step is to add all the bits that are missing and go over it in a darker sketching pencil. Below are my finished sketches.

World War II

As part of our work on Britain since 1930 the children painted scenes showing Spitfires flying over London. They also sent emails to someone who was evacuated 1939. They asked questions to find out from a primary source what life was like as an evacuee and what life was like in wartime Coventry.


HAPPINESS POEMS

Happiness is red,
Tastes like chicken and chips,
Happiness smells like treasure,
It looks like lovely red roses,
And sounds like excitement,
Happiness makes me jolly good!

by Firdos

Happiness is yellow,
Shining like beautiful bright sun,
It tastes like amazingly yummy food,
Always smells like beautiful flowers
Looks like a joyful day
It sounds like everyone is having lots of fun
Happiness makes my day!

In Year 6 we love doing practical science. For example making circuits and carrying out experiments. We found that a circuit needs to be complete to be able to work.

Calculators can be used to solve number problems such as calculating percentages, multiplying decimals and to find the square roots of number.

We use RUCKSAC to help us solve numeracy word problems. The method has 6 easy steps:
R = READ
U = UNDERSTAND
C = CHOOSE THE RIGHT NUMBER OPERATION
S = SOLVE THE PROBLEM
A = ANSWER THE PROBLEM
C = CHECK YOUR ANSWER!

 

African tribal masks by Mahnoor and Zahra I

Class 6Q made Mali masks after we had learnt about them Mali, Africa, in geography. First, we had to pick partners then we had to blow up a balloon. Next, we had to rip strips of newspaper and put it into some glue mixed with water. Then, we had to stick the strips on the balloon repeatedly until it was all covered. After that, we had to wait until it dried so we could add more layers on top of the dry ones. Eventually, we had to cut the balloon when dried and start designing our patterns. Finally, we were finished and it was time to paint. African tribal masks were made and used for festivals, going to war and also represented animal spirits. Here is what our display of Mali masks looked like when they were finished.

FEAR

Fear is black.
The taste of mud in your mouth.
The smell of mud crawling up your nose.
Everything is pitch black.
Nobody is around.
The wind is tiptoeing up your body
Life has never been so distressing.
