In dance this term, Sycamore Class have been learning how to dance like ancient Mayans (our History and Geography topic this term). Inspired by Mayan music, Year 6 created their own ancient Mayan dances in small groups; they used many of the Mayan customs and traditions, such as human sacrifices, praying to their many gods and hunting for animals.

We have been learning many Literacy skills this term and have already written excellent scene setting descriptions, diary entries and Newspaper reports. In this lesson we were learning how to punctuate speech- to help us when we write our Newspaper report. The children were creating their own 2 way dialogue between 2 squawking parrots! Well done Sycamore Class!

Year 6 have been learning all about light. The Year 6’s have had great fun taking part in the numerous science investigations this term: from understanding how shadows are formed and how they can be distorted, to understanding that white light is made up from a spectrum of different colours. The children have been really engaged in their scientific learning this term!

Sycamore Class enjoyed learning about CPR and how to restart a heart. They listened really well and applied all the knowledge they acquired when having a go on the mannequins.

Well done to our new Year 6 Head of School Council (Holly and Adam). Similarly, congratulations to our House Captains and school librarians.
