Year Six Summer Term 2007 - Class Teacher Mrs T Kaunhoven

Term Five saw us working hard towards our Year Six SATs. We celebrated the end of these tests with a "DVD and popcorn 'in-class' cinema experience", watching the film version of 'Holes', by Louis Sachar, a class novel from earlier in the year.

We have now started work on a cross-curricular topic, Journeys, which will keep us busy until the end of Term 6. Through this topic, we will be learning about:

Journeys through time - How Britain has changed since 1948
Special Journeys - Pilgrimages, personal journeys of belief and faith
Journeys in Space - atmospheric music and scientific advances (linked to London Residential)
Refugees - Why do people leave their homes? How does their life change?
The Journey of a River - River Thames from source to sea (linked to London Residential)
Moving Vehicles - controlling the route a model can take
Moving On - Getting ready for secondary school: new expectations, hopes and concerns.

We are excited about our residential trip to London and have been looking at images of 2D and 3D art that we will see in the Tate galleries. For our 'People in Action' artwork, we have practised using the 'oval technique' for drawing figures in proportion.

We have enjoyed making 'flicker books' to turn still images into simple animations and have started to explore using different artists' methods for showing movement within a still image.
