Titanic

P6/5 have been enjoying their IDL this term, learning all about the Titanic. We have been creating a timeline of the events of the night the Titanic sank and learning about some of the jobs onboard. We have been looking at how the ship hit the iceberg and subsequently sank. We have had some lively debates about whether the Captain was at fault or not.

Today we all collaborated to make a display Titanic. We were so busy during this that we forgot to take some pictures but this is our finished result. We’re very happy with how it turned out.

P6/5 Scottish Dancing

This week P6/5 have been learning the Military Two Step and the Gay Gordans.

We enjoyed working collaboratively and having fun with our friends.

P6/5 Art

This week P6/5 created firework pictures to celebrate Guy Fawkes night. Using oil pastels, they explored colour blending techniques to create different colors and patterns. A touch of glitter added some extra sparkle! This activity allowed the children to show off their creativity skills.

P6/5 Go Wild…again!

It was P6/5’s 2nd time in the Forest with Rob from Kids Gone Wild this week.

We were all really excited to get out there and, of course, get on that zip line!

We worked together to problem solve; how could we get the zip line back to the next person waiting when it was too high for us to reach?

We collaborated and communicated when it came to who was getting the next shot and how long each duo were on the net for.

We created something from nothing, using wood, natural clay, leaves and lots of other natural resources found in the forest.

Best of all, we had fun as a whole class and really showed what a great team we are. Well done P6/5!

P6/5 World War 2 Artwork

This week P6/5 have been looking into Evacuation during World War 2. After writing evacuation letters we used tea staining to make them look like they were written in 1940.
We used our Longridge toolkit creative skills to try different techniques such as dipping, dabbing and dripping, and different resources such as cotton pads, the tea bags and sponges to create different textures and appearance.
The pupils had a great time showing off their artistic skills and have all produced brilliant artwork.
