Year 5/6 have been learning about different emotions they may experience as they grow older. To help manage these, they made their own emotion bottles using different items for different emotions.
Diamond Class Activities
Celebration Collective Worship
Every enjoyed our second celebration collective worship of the year as there was so much for us to be proud of. Well done to those pupils who have worked hard in lessons to receive a certificate and also well done to our ‘Soar on Wings’ winners.
Mrs Eagle’s Leaving Assembly
We all said a fond goodbye to Mrs Eagle and we wish her well in her new job.
Area
The Year 4s have been exploring different ways of working out the area of a chape. We discovered that, using sticky notes, we could make lots of different shapes and still have the same area.
Harvest Festival
The Whole school community met together at our church to celebrate Harvest Festival with Reverend Phil. We sang hymns and thanked God for all the wonderful things in our world. Our harvest produce was donated to Martham food bank.
Salmon or Pepper Main Course
In DT Year 5 and 6 explored different tastes and categorised food in to their different flavours and found which flavours complimented each other. They then used this knowledge to research and design their own main meal using either peppers or salmon for their star ingredient.
We enjoyed making them with the help of Mrs Buckingham in the kitchen, and very, very much enjoyed tasting and evaluating them.
Egyptian Collars
We have been learning about Egyptian harvest and how they farmed their land. We then designed our own Egyptian collars and appliqued felt shapes on to represent harvest. We had to learn how to do cross stich and running stitch to secure our designs. Afterwards, we evaluated what went well, how our sewing was successful and what we might do differently next time.
Egyptian Day
We visited the Castle Museum to take part in an Egyptian day to learn all about the Ancient Civilisation. Over the day, we had to decide whether we believed artefacts should be kept in Egypt in their tombs or excavated to be placed in museums for all to see.
We learned about Egyptian jewelry and we made a replica collar, we discussed and explored Egyptian artefacts and learned about daily life in Ancient Egypt.
It was an interesting debate at the end of the day with half the class voting to leave artifacts where they are and half voting to remove them for all to see in museums.
What do you think?
Theme Music
The Year 5/6 created a soundtrack around the theme of ‘space’. First, they planned their ideas by discussing what they think about when they hear the word ‘space’ then decided what sounds would go with them. We had a good variation of pitch, rhythm, tempo and timber with all of them sounding completely different.
