A Tale Unfolds

We have started a new literacy and film project. Over the next few weeks, we will be writing different text types, editing and improving our work and then turning each piece of writing into the next piece of our film.

And you might be wondering what our film will be called... Cindy, Ann and Bones and the temple of Boom (inspired by Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom!) 

We have started off by creating our three main characters- Cindy Ann and Bones. We then wrote character descriptions which we then filmed. 

We have really enjoyed the first piece of the project and are looking forward to moving onto the next stage our project! 

World book day

Today we celebrated world book day. We all dressed up as a book character and brought in a favourite book to share with others.

Staff decided to dress as Harry Potter characters- here are some of the teachers in their outfits. 

Here are the adults who work in the year 5/6 team. 

As part of our celebrations, Mrs Keeble planned a great day for the children as rookie spies. We designed gadgets, did finger-printing, completed obstacle and agility courses and identified a double-agent! 

Saxon/ Viking dance

Here we are striking poses for the opening of our Viking/Saxon dance...

Art

For our art,  we have been working in small groups to create collages of the helmet found at Sutton Hoo. 

Here are some photos of what we are working towards creating. 

And here are some photos of us in action...

(We haven't quite finished them yet so I'll post some photos when they are completed.) 

ICT

This week we have been investigating e- safety websites. 

We are identifying what makes an effective website aimed at children, as well as learning about keeping safe when using the internet. 

Dance

Today we had our first dance session with Beth. Today Beth focused on getting to know the children and checking out their moves (which were ace!) and we started to put together a routine to Uptown Funk. We will be carrying on with this routine over the coming weeks but also focusing on our main learning which will be an Anglo-Saxon inspired routine.
