We have been extremely creative across a range of subjects this week!

In English, the children used Chapter One of The Explorer (Katherine Rundell) as the driver for writing their own chapter extension, linking in nicely with our topic work on Brazil and the Amazon Rainforest.

On top of this, much rehearsal time has been given to perfecting the Brazilian dance that the children were taught last term. It is always a tricky task to co-ordinate over sixty children – many thanks to Mrs Wibberley as the males within the Year 6 team have four left feet between them!

The carnival theme has continued into our Design and Technology studies, where the children will be designing and creating a moving carnival fairground ride using motors and pulleys. We cannot wait for the tidy-up after the children have got their hands on the dowel and sellotape!

Everyone in 6L is looking forward to our day trip to Andrew Simpson Centre on Monday – remember to check Parentmail for today’s last-minute reminders.

We think there is a game of football on later tonight. Enjoy that, and enjoy the start to National Picnic Week!
