Year Six

Year Six goes back upstairs this year and following it is Miss.Smith. She is staying our year6 class'es teacher for consistency in their SATS year (and because only she knows all their names).


Summer 2007 - History/Art/Design
The Beatles
The history project in the summer term is all about the band 'The Beatles'. Yes its been long enough to be considered 'history' now! We learn all about the band members and have a listen to all of their songs. The class has also been re-creating some of their famous album covers during art. MORE

Moving Toys
At the end of the year when there is time available to worry about things other than SATs Y6 spend some time making 'moving toys'. They use their skills in circuit making as well as art and design to make a piece of work that will move on its own, but with a unique theme individual to the child. MORE

Spring 2007 - ICT
We are making a digital video as part of Blackpool's annual D.M.P. (digital media project) that will eventually be shown at the Odeon cinema Blackpool to our junior movie-makers and the equivalent children from other schools in Blackpool. MORE

November 2006 - ICT
During ICT this year we have to put together a live-action video to show in our local Odeon, as a nice pre-requisite to that we have been putting together short stories made with single pitures and some narration over the top. The pictures were taken using our digital cameras and toys that the children brought into school and the voice overs were done with Windows MovieMaker (think i-Movie if your a Mac person).

November 2006 - Art

The Giants Causeway
This half term have been learning about the 'fictional' Giant Finn McCool. Who legend has it is responsible for the Isle of Man, Lough Neagh and The Giant's Causeway in Ireland. He 'made' the Isle of Man by throwing a chunk of land at another giant, but missed and it landed in the Irish Sea, hence the Isle of Man. The Giant's Causeway is what remains of a series of stepping stones accross the sea as a method for another giant to come and fight Finn (he didn't want to swim), but the actual stepping stones were removed as the giant fled from Finn pretending to be a baby, on the basis that if a baby is giant-sized how big will an actual giant be?

Year 6 have been doing paper based work about the antics of the Giant, but also making models of what they imagined he'd look like.
Here are some of our favourites, well the 1st 6 on the camera really- I couldn't think of a fair way to choose otherwise!

 

This little guy also appeared in the same batch as the giants, I've been calling him Mike, though he's called 'Duckie' officially I'm told.
