It has been such busy but fun week in year 6 .
This week we have:
Plenty of more amazing things coming for year 6 in their final term in primary school…Watch this space!
This week we began planning our summer enterprise. From Monday we will be selling delicious ice lollies outside of Oaks classroom at breaktimes (Monday-Thursday) to raise funds for rewards and to provide some equipment for our school.
We have started writing an advertising campaign and are in the process of recording some examples to advertise online, on dojo and in/around the school.
Here is a sample of all of our hard work, written by Jake in Oaks:
Introducing our new, fantastic summer enterprise: Frozen Flavours! Are you hot and bothered on a summer’s day? Do you crave a flavourful, refreshing treat at break time? If so, Frozen Flavours is here to help! Boring break times will be a thing of the past! We guarantee we will put a big grin on your face. Hello summer!
Imagine this, you’re enjoying a refreshing, mouth-watering frozen treat on a sweltering summer day. Every week, we switch up the frozen treat selection. One week rocket lollies, the next fruit twisters and many more… We will have something for all children to enjoy. Don’t worry parents, at the annual summer fair, we’ll be there!
Some of the money raised will go to Fellgate Primary School’s clubs, music equipment, playground equipment, art and school supplies. Also, it will help the students’ learning here at Fellgate Primary School. You can find us at Oaks’ classroom door. Some of the funds raised will be used for trip and rewards. The summer enterprise is a fun tradition for the Year 6 children, which gives them lots of responsibility.
Parents, if your child has any allergies, get in touch. We will make arrangements so your child can enjoy our brrr-illiant frozen treats.
Frozen Flavours is perfect to cool down on a hot summers day. Hello summer!
As you can tell, we were all extremely proud of our hard work!
We even had someone take the time to create an amazing logo for our enterprise using a laptop.
In Sycamores, we had a fantastic day celebrating World Book Day! We dressed up as some of our favourite characters, shared stories with our Acorn buddies and designed book tokens for a competition.
Sycamores and Acorns really enjoyed listening to the story, ‘le petit caméléon’ during buddy time. They joined in with memorable phrases and learnt lots of new French vocabulary! We were very happy when le petit caméléon was found under the rainbow which inspired a French song about the rainbow! Très bien!
Sycamores have been researching famous Inuit artists such as Kenojuak Ashevak, Jessie Oonark and David Ruben Piqtoukun. We chose some of our favourite designs and used the ipads to create a mood board of inspiration for our own art pieces.
Sycamores having been studying Inuit art and the techniques used. We created our own prints by cutting out images of animals to use as stencils, then painted over them. We explored using different tools such as sponges, rollers and brushes. Some of us began to experiment with different colours to see which ones contrasted well. They look fantastic!
Sycamores have enjoyed learning about ratio in Maths. We used different coloured cubes to represent ratios and some of us drew our own representations to help calculate the ratio.
Sycamores are really enjoying learning to dance in PE this term! We are learning a routine to a very upbeat track, so we are working hard on developing strategies to support us keeping in time with the music. Our routine involves a question and answer section as well as a canon! We love learning the new moves each week and adding them to the steps we already know. We can’t wait to see what the finished routine will look like!
As a special treat, Acorns and Sycamores buddies spent the morning together making Christmas decorations. We had lots of fun!
Acorns and Sycamores looked so smart in their Christmas jumpers. We all sat with our buddies and enjoyed a delicious Christmas dinner!
