Year 6 share their pirate stories with Year 1 children
Following Year 1 informing Year 6 about all the information they had learnt during their Pirates topic, Eagles were very excited to share their pirate stories today.
Prior to visiting Year 1, the children had practised reading with intonation, varied pace and expression – to help the story come alive. Not all children found this easy but they helped each other brilliantly to develop their delivery and read the stories beautifully to the younger children.
It was lovely to see how intently the Year 1 children listened to the stories and enjoyed knowing that they had helped, in some way, to develop the quality of the Year 6’s writing.
Creating a 2-level game
During Computing this afternoon, Year 6 Eagles have started to look at programming a 2-level game using Microsoft Kodu. The children really enjoyed the 3D graphics and creating a world with obstacles and missiles.
Mr Baddhan tasked the children to think about objective of the game, whether it should include enemies or missiles to take points off the health bar.
They have started to create the first level and tomorrow will continue to program the second level.
The children put their programming minds to practise using the best combination of code to form the best algorithm.
Our finished emoji databases
This week, Year 6 Eagles have been working on creating emoji databases with at least 10 records that contain information about the new emojis.
Mr Baddhan showed the children how to quickly search for information from their database based on the search criteria. And how information can be sorted and grouped depending on the data within record.
Here are some examples of children’s work.

Creating an emoji database
During Computing this afternoon, Year 6 Eagles learned about databases. The children discussed the various places a database is used and the types of information they hold.
In the next couple of lessons, Eagles will be creating emoji databases based on the new set of emojis. Today, they started to write down questions for their databases and selected 10 new emojis for their records.
Tomorrow the children will be creating their databases in 2Investigate in Purple Mash.
