Year Six 2021-22

This morning we made an excellent start to our bird boxes. We practiced the skills of sawing, sanding and drilling.

We started our Hockey unit by learning how to hold the stick correctly and dribble.

 

 

As part of our history topic on The Collieries, we enjoyed a visit to Astley Mining Museum.

Today, we celebrate The Queen’s Platinum Jubilee.

Today, several children took part in a community art project where they made the porcelain tiles that will be used in a mosaic.

This afternoon, we completed our posters considering the reasons why some apps are unsuitable for children.

Today we painted our Clarice Cliff inspired designs onto our coil pots. First we sanded our pots to create a smooth surface and then painted a white base coat so that our colours would stand out.

Today we started an art project influenced by 3D pop artist Charles Fazzino and his New York landscapes. We have linked our Geography topic on London and have used famous London landmarks. Today’s lesson has focused on our observational skills and how we can add mark making to add detail.

To bring our learning together, we are creating posters focusing on why people use social media, age recommendations for apps and the benefits and risks.

Over the last 2 weeks we have been researching the famous ceramic artist Clarice Cliff. We have looked at her life and work and critiqued a jug from her famous ‘Bizarre’ collection.
