🌍🇫🇷 Year 6 Languages Day 🇩🇪🇹🇷 Year 6 had a fantastic time celebrating Languages Day! We explored different languages and cultures through a range of fun, creative and exciting activities. We started by writing French letters to pen pals, practising our French vocabulary and sentences while learning how to introduce ourselves, share information and ask questions. We also enjoyed reading part of Diary of a Wimpy Kid in Turkish, discovering how familiar stories can sound completely different when translated into another language! We then travelled to Germany by creating our own German café menus, learning new food and drink vocabulary and designing colourful menus. We also listened to German covers of well-known English songs, seeing if we could recognise the original songs while hearing them in a different language. To finish the day, we listened to songs from around the world and became language detectives, trying to identify the language being spoken and guess which country it c...

 Today, we have been celebrating Languages Day and discovering how exciting it is to communicate in different languages!  This morning, we took the register in Ukrainian , learning how to say “Hello” in a new language. In the afternoon, we travelled to France and practised our French! We learnt the French colours alongside the catchy song “Léon the Chameleon” , which helped us practise our vocabulary in a fun and memorable way.  To finish our day, we explored some of the wonderful things associated with France and decorated and labelled our own French posters . The children have worked creatively while learning lots of new words and facts. It has been a fantastic day of language, culture, music and creativity ! 

As part of languages day, Year 4 spent time learning to describe people. We watched a short video, spoke about the use of French adjectives and completed an activty. We really enjoyed our French learning.

 At our first Nature Club of the year I asked what foods for our local wildlife, mammals, birds and insects, we could find in the school grounds. The children had a great deal of excellent prior learning to share before we went out to look. There were lots of different resources for our local wildlife, from bees to deer, but our largest identified source was the late flowering ivy which was buzzing with insects busily feding and forming their own section of the food chain.

 Year 4 is well underway and producing some great finished pieces that we can display across our classrooms to celebrate our work and remind us what we are capable of. Our finished newspaper reports about the 2011 Christchurch earthquake. The features of a mountain. The Year 4 Team :)

 It has been fabulous to welcome the children each day with a good morning and a smile this week Our focus in Maths this week has been repeating patterns. We have been using natural resources as well as the children themselves (PE day was great for colour pattern). The children have begun to learn some sounds in Phonics and by Friday, we were having a go at blending! Fantastic effort from all. Remember, library books have been changed and are expected back on Thursday, read as often as you wish. We have introduced rhyme time to our daily timetable, it has been a great success. The children have enjoyed singing Miss Polly has a Dolly, making actions to accompany the words and role playing too. RW performed the rhyme to 1H today to which they were very impressed. The story focus has been A squash and a squeeze this week. The children have been discussing the characters in the story, the setting and explaining their thoughts as to if they enjoyed it or not. They all had such excellent...
