Year 6 Blog Friday 7th July 2023

Date: 6th Jul 2023 @ 3:33pm

Welcome to this week’s Year 6 blog.

Our final week of rehearsals for Oliver consisted of perfecting the stage directions, dance routines, lights and use of props. Next Monday will be a dress rehearsal for the school, with Tuesday being the big day of performances. Year 6 are looking forward to showing you all their fanstastic production. 

This week is Art week with our topic focusing on Activism. We used the artist Shepard Fairey and discussed how his art can help influence people’s thoughts and feelings towards different topics. We discussed the question, ‘What is your message to the world?’ We then used our learning from Romero Britto’s artwork and merged the two ideas together to create our final bright activism piece of art, which will be displayed at the summer fair.

In French, we used bilingual dictionaries to find words associated with the future - hope, peace, friendship, dreams etc and we turned them into graffiti. You'll see why next week. Then we enjoyed a celebration French breakfast.

In Science, we learnt the standard symbols used to draw electric circuits and we investigated how to change the brightness of a bulb or the loudness of a buzzer.
