Today was our annual Ravensbury bake off. Well done to all the children who took part. I was very impressed with the effort you all put in (both adults and pupils).
I spend the morning break sampling them all and some were delicious! Miss Gallery had to come and assist me with my decision as it was difficult to choose the first, second and third places.
Congratulations to the three winners and well done once more to all the others for entering.

Yesterday the children had to squash themselves under the tables and pretent we were having an air raid drill. They thought it was very exciting and enjoyed chatting with their friends and making up games to keep themselves occupied. I'm sure if they had to stay there all night, like they had to during World War 2, then they would soon get very fed up and bored.

This week we launched our new topic about life during The Second World War. We started with a dance, where the children all had to learn an old fashioned dance called the 'Lindy Hop'. They did very well and had a chance to practise. As you can see from the photographs below, they all had a great time.

It was lovely to see you all this morning and I hope you enjoyed looking at some of the morning activities we do when the chidren come into school. Do not hesitate to come and see me if you have any questions. Thank you.
A Peaceful protest for Climate Change
Date: 17th May 2022 @ 2:59pm
Year 6 took part in a peaceful protest to raise awareness of Global Warming and Climate Change. They made amazing banners to use when marching around the school grounds. They attracted a lot of attention because they made the decision to hold their protest at the same time as the school cake sale. This had a big impact as there were a lot of people around. We are so proud of the children in both year 6 classes for showing so much passion and dedication to 'making a change' for the better.
Year 6 Connected Curriculum Launch-Traffic Survey
Date: 24th Mar 2022 @ 12:56pm
Year 6 have been conducting a traffic survey to find out the volume of traffic passing the school during the school day. We will be using this information to help us to monitor the air pollution in the area and explore ways to reduce the amount of traffic. This links to our topic on Climate Change and the children will be exploring ways in which they can help to reduce Global Warming and make a difference.
Cross Curricular Orienteering Lesson
Date: 7th Mar 2022 @ 5:12pm
On Friday we had our first PE orienteering lesson. We had so much fun working in teams to create 'Silly Faces'. The objective was to work in teams using the equipment given to create the silly face card accurately using the information on the map. The children had such fun tranferring the information from the diagram into reality using the equipment. They worked brilliantly in teams and were very energetic. I know they cannot wait until the next lesson to take on another new challenge. Well done 6JT!

Today we had enjoyed World Book Day! We had lots of fun dressing up as our favourite book characters and taking part in a parade around the playground. We read our class book 'Holes' and met the Warden today. We also launced our class author- Onjali q Rauf and researched facts about her and looked at some of the books she has written. We had an opportunity to link to a live zoom with with Z-arts and Emma Jackson from the 'Story Drawing Club and explore ways to use our new free book. We ended the day with a look at the Masked Reader clips and guess who the teachers were. Everyone got a book token to take home too.

In maths today, we were measuring capacity using a variety of measuring jugs and cylinders. We used skills such as estimating, accurate measuring and reasoning. It was great fun and really helped us when we came to complete our independent work of converting millilitres to litres and litres to millilitres and solving word problems involving capacity.

Today we have been drawing Cherry Blossom in our art sketch books. Our inspiration came from our reading book 'Kensuke's Kingdom'. The character Kensuke painted a Cherry Blossom tree on a shell he found on the beach. The children really enjoyed creating their pictures and produced some lovely work.

Here is this week's learning padlet for those of you who are isolating at home. Have a go at the activities which are the same as the rest of us are doing in school. This week we are continuing our new novel "Kensuke's Kingdom." We will be using the ideas from this to write our own deserted island adventure story.
