Welcome to Class 6!

As part of our Community Link, we are going to raise money for a charity that rescues abandoned dogs and re homes them or re trains them as therapy dogs.  Each child in the class has been given a booklet with activities in and we are asking those, who would like to, to make a bag of dog biscuits that we will sell on the school yard before the summer holidays. 

If you would like to help, please bag the biscuits in 12 (large) or 24 (small) and let us know the ingredients.  Myself and Mrs Ward will then place a sticker on each bag clearly labelling the ingredients.

There are plenty of dog biscuit recipes online, but here are a few links to get you started!

We are learning about Islam and have had our virtual mosque visit.  We are now having a question and answer session with Fatima! Some great questions being asked. Charlie has just asked about the call to prayer.

Today we are using chicken wire and papier mache to make our models fully 3D! We are also trying to make a lever to move our dragons backwards and forwards. 

This week we are making model dragons from wire.  Today we have designed our dragons and made the wire base!

We love a good sing and dance in class 6! This half term we are learning songs that give a message that helps us learn not to discriminate....except Uptown Funk, that just happened...spot the child who isn’t keen on this particular tune!

Lords, Ladies, Castles & Chaos!

Some super work on our current history topic...

Today we are playing "Taskmaster" in between jobs!

First task was to build the tallest tower using items on the desk!!

We also had to make the best sound...a few of our faves are below.

We are finding out about volcanoes and earthquakes at the minute in class 6. Look how the children’s work is getting on! What a team!

Wow! What a brilliant few mornings we had at Carlton Lodge this week.  The children were amazing and really got involved in all the activities, pushing and challenging themselves

We have had such fun learning about South America and comparing it to the U.K. The children have produced some amazing work and we really enjoyed our parade yesterday!

Please please please ensure your child reads regularly during the week.  They should be aiming to read every day at home and (usually) twice a week there will be set reading homework linked to the class novel - if they don't keep up with this then they will find the lessons in school difficult.  Please support your child at home to help them catch up - especially following such a long time out of school.  Thank you.
