1960's Day

Year 6 enjoy 1960's Day

Year 6 disco

Year 6 travelled back in time today and relived the 1960's. Children enjoyed learning about the events of the 60's and were amazed by the events that occurred during one decade. All children dressed up to show the fashions of the decade. We had outfits from the early 60's (mini skirts) and late 60's (Hippies). It was clearly a decade of great music and fashion.
Throughout the day children listened to 1960's music, participated in a disco, where all manged the twist dance off. Children also created Andy Warhol style pictures and 1960's montages.

Creating our montages.

Cool dancing!

The whole day was great fun!!

Final Performances!!

On the week beginning 14th July Years 5 and 6 performed their end of year production to the school and parents. After a rocky start the children performed fantastically in all 3 performances. They sang well and the acting was just as good. There were some fantastic solo performances that didn't leave a dry eye in the house. As you can imagine the usual teachers watching couldn't hold it together and the tears came flooding out, so that proves how successful the performances were. I know there were also a lot of parents who watched who commented how well the children had done and again there were lots of tears shed.

Not only did the children perform brilliantly, but also all the teachers and LSAs worked extremely hard, without these people the performances just couldn't go ahead, so thank you.

The sale of refreshments and photos raised a good amount of money for the school, which will be put together with the money raised by the year 6 at the summer fete to buy some equipment for the playground and a plaque will be placed in their memory.

Thank you to all who came and supported the children and school.

Below are the photos of the production!!!

Enjoy.......



Good Luck to the year 6 as they move to their next schools!!

Year 6 Literacy

Year 6/7 Transition unit - Flatlife

After the hard work of the SAT's, we have been enjoying taking part in a transition unit that will be linked to our first couple of weeks of high school when we start in September.

In class we have been watching a short film called 'Flatlife'. It is an animated film about 4 characters that live next door to each other in a block of flats. There are lots of different situations that arise between the neighbours.... even a panda flying into the window!
It is a very funny film!


During class, we have been taking part in a lot of activities related to the unit, such as; Drama, letter writing (informal and formal), playscripts, making a new soundtrack, animation, designing a new flat and lots more!

During our drama session, we pretended to be the characters and held a residents' meeting to get to know each other.

It was great fun! Look for yourselves.....

Neha, Heidi, Tommy and Shaun's fantastic acting!

Amy and Amie in character!
We have had such a great time in the last couple of weeks during our Literacy lessons, we can't wait for more!
