Mrs Davies Year 5/6 2020-2021

This week we were invited to a religious festival held at Chichén Itza temple, on the third day of the new moon. We prepared our costumes, made fact files about the Gods, sent out invitations and had our musical instruments ready to impress the Gods. We all met on Teams and marched as part of the…

Our topic work this week has focused on the arts....... we have designed and made Mexican musical instruments (and played them) and we have also created some amazing arts and craft work based around the Day of the Dead festival. As you can see, the children have worked so hard and shown off their…

We have been finding out all about the interesting history of the Maya Civilization this week. We have created timelines and also used images for each fact to help us remember the details. We also looked at Mayan writing and recreated Mayan glyphs using a range of materials - both at home and at…

After reading some more of our class novel, we imagined we were the main character Stanley. After digging our Hole (AGAIN), we were amazed to find some kind of treasure down there...... this is how we reacted to the find through role play, freeze frames and writing. Some great work was produced…

This week we have researched all about Mexico - we have labelled maps and wrote non-chronological reports with all our findings. Children at school and at home are working very hard! Some children have even learnt a little of the language! 

Even with a National Lockdown and most children working at home, we have still had an exciting week of learning. We started our new topic this week and as part of our 'Engage' starter to it all, we have watched and listened to some Mexican music and dances. We also had our own go at The Mexican…

This week we have loved making Christmas cards and calendars for our families. We also made cards for the residents of Fry Court too - it made their day! Merry Christmas Everyone! 

This week has been full of Christmas cheer! The children loved having their party - no one is ever too old for a game of pass the parcel. Thank you to RAFT for supplying the prizes - the children loved them. We had some great dancing, a competition for the best dressed Christmas model and much…

This week we have found out all about The British Heart Foundation and the great work they do. We have worked in groups to educate others about it and think of ways how we can help too! 

We have loved our Blood Heart topic and we wanted to share what we have learned with others. To make it a little different, we created animations to show our knowledge of one aspect of the topic. We worked so well as a team and the final results were great. 

Hi guys,

Since we've already had one battle on the grounds of Roseberry academy this week (Romans Vs Celts), I figured that it was high time we had another round of TTRS battles. However, as Christmas is fast approaching, along with 2021, I decided to add a twist to this competition: all…

This week we carried out a fair test into blood flow. We ensured everything was kept the same apart from the width of the straws that were representing the blood vessels. We found that blood flowed quicker through the wider vessel. We also discussed what would happen if the blood was thicker or…
