Year 6

As part of our topic, Year 6 researched corporal punishment in schools during the Victorian Era and the arguments in favour and against using it. In English they wrote "balanced" arguments and created posters to display both sides.

A Chronology of the Victorian Period

Year 6 have done an excellent job designing and making shelters for their DT project. We have some future architects in this class!

Year 6 have been exploring a new text in English. They have enjoyed familiarising themselves with the story by creating exam style questions for their learning partners to answer about the text.

Year 6 have created stunning self-portaits inspired by artist "Michael Barret." They have used techniques such as layering, printing and a variety of media to assemble their masterpieces!

Year 6 have done a fantastic job of creating Newspaper Reports, detailing the events that took place in the "Highwayman."

Art Skills- experimenting with warm and cool colours

Our Character Focus for this half term is "Organisation". Year 6 have used their understanding of organisation to prepare and participate in a very interesting debate!

The Highwayman- Year 6 have been studying the poem 'The Highwayman' by Alfred Noyes. They have retold the story through drama, explored the language devices used for effect and written a monologue in the point of view of one of the characters.

Hello Year 6,

First of all: many thanks for the letters you sent this week. They are incredibly well written and, more importantly, highly persuasive! I think the idea of supporting a charity is phenomenally altruistic and therefore something I would be more than happy to support you with. Reading about the human trafficking and child labour was very thought provoking and made me feel a great deal of sympathy for the victims.

I suggest the following:

I provide the class with a small budget (myself and Miss Isaac will determine this) and you can use this to create something which you can sell and earn profit on in an afterschool table top sale. I would suggest we than donate the money to an anti-slavery charity. There will be lots of creative tasks e.g. creating posters of advertisement, designing the product and keeping an eye on the financial side of things.

Since you all worked so hard, I have included a little reply to each of your letters below. If I have missed anyone I apologise but these are all the letters I have received.

Kind regards,

Mr Davoile
