Pablo Picasso Inspired Collage

P6 have been exploring collage using Pablo Picasso as their inspiration to create portraits  They added texture to the collages by ripping the surface of their cardboard backing and used different types and colours of  paper to create  a face from two different perspectives.  Finally they added colour and detail using oil pastels.  They look fab!

Jubilee Celebrations

P6 enjoyed celebrating the Queen’s Jubilee last week.  Each class was given a decade of the Queen’s reign to investigate and ours was the noughties (2000-2009).

We explored genres of music from that decade as well as news stories.  We found out that a plane had to carry out an emergency landing on the Hudson River in New York and that the Human Genome was sequenced amongst other stories.

As the Human Genome project was completed in 2003 we also had fun making models of the DNA double helix and extracting DNA from strawberries.

 

We also drew some of the Queen’s corgis before having fun outside at our Jubilee picnic.

Parking Protest

P6 were out in force again this week using the placards and slogans they have made to try and discourage people form parking near our school at pick up time and to encourage people to park responsibly.

Be Cool Park Away from our School!

Data Handling

P6 have been learning data handling in numeracy this week.  They used the data we collected from Walk to School week to draw bar graphs of how people in different classes travelled to school.  They also interpreted the data to find out which class had the most  people walking to school during the week.
