This afternoon, the children in Shamrocks were challenged to explore the five main faiths of the world. To begin with they had to research the faith and then make an information sheet using their creativity. at the end they shared what they had found out and we discussed the similarities and differences between faiths.

Shamrocks Class wrote and produced the Easter Church Service this year from scratch in their Literacy lessons. The Easter story was re-told in the style of a News at Then, news report written by the pupils. Each and every member of Shamrocks class (along with some of Roses) performed their hearts out to bring the Easter story to life in the church from the perspective of News Presenters and Reporters. The whole school sang beautifully and none of it would have been possible without Mrs Chapman and her guitar!
A huge round of applause goes to everyone who made this performance happen, especially the Year 6 pupils. This term we have been working on designing and making pop-up books for younger children, including a mixture of structures and mechanisms. We used sliders, pivots and folds made from cardboard to produce a range of movements.
First we evaluated existing pop-up books, both professional printed books and previous Year 6 pupils' DT projects. First, they practised making the different mechanisms and observing how they work. Next, the children produced their own storyboards and planned which mechanism would be most suitable on each page. Finally, they created their books using layers and spacers to create a professional finish. Some fantastic, original storybooks were created. Shamrocks class should be so proud! They are true authors and illustrators. What an incredible effort Shamrocks Class put into their World Book Day costumes this year. It was amazing to walk into such a magical room of book characters. It really showcased and celebrated Year 6's love of reading which they demonstrate every day in class.
From witches and wizards to rabbits, DogMan and sports stars - each and every one of us put so much thought and effort into representing our favourite books and characters and had a lovely day celebrating the magical world of books and imagination. We had a fantastic assembly, completed a Reading Quiz, made bookmarks and book recommendations and listened to Mrs Holmes reading our current reading for pleasure class novel 'The Nowhere Emporium'. I can't stress enough how proud I am of the amount of reading Shamrocks class participate in daily and the enthusiasm they show for our class novels, including our favourite this year - The Final Year. If you haven't read it yourself yet, we highly recommend it! |
