On Friday we dressed up as a book character or a word. From Alice in Wonderland to Charlie and The Chocolate Factory, here are some of the outfits that were worn in Year 6. I particularly liked the ‘Holes’ themed costumes as we have read that book as part of our writing lessons

WorldBookWeek!

During World Book Week we spent an ERIC session sharing our favourite books. It was really interesting to hear what everybody liked and would recommend.

Well done Eagles! A fabulous poetry performance. 

Year 6 have started making inferences in guided reading and have been practising backing up their inferences with evidence. Today we looked at the picture book ‘Small Things’ and made inferences about the characters and the way they were feeling. This book is a wordless picture book so it is really useful to make inferences in order to understand what is happening throughout the story.

Year 6 have recently finished their writing unit based on The Highwayman Poem. Throughout the unit, the children have been spending time learning the words of the poem. Here you can watch the children performing it.

After reading The Island this week in English, the children completed a conscience alley. A child walked down the alley and the other children on either side had to give reasons for and against letting the man stay on the island. Once they had walked through the alley, the children then had to share their final decision after hearing lots of different opinions.

Year 6 love their ERIC time. Some children enjoyed a bit of drama reading the play script of Cinderella.

The children have all settled in really well to their new class. In writing we have started our new book – The Day War Came. We spent our first lesson reading and discussing the book before starting to think about a setting description.

Watch the read-aloud of the book below.
