Y6 - Owls
Welcome to Owl Class!
Owl Class is taught by Mrs Farnell with Miss Ellery supporting as the class LSA. Other teachers include Mr Frisby, who teaches Music on a Tuesday, and Mr Bourne, who teaches PE on a Friday.
Below, you will find updates from the children’s Year 6 journey throughout the year. Further updates can be found on our school Twitter page.
Powerful Poetry
On Thursday 3rd October, Owl Class enjoyed participating in National Poetry Day! The children loved exploring the theme of counting when creating their own poems! Some children even shared their poems with Year 1. Well done, Owl Class!
Cracking Computing
Owl Class are enjoying practising their programming in their computing sessions this term. They have learned what a variable is and have been practising debugging while designing and creating their own game in Scratch. Great perseverance and resilience has been shown by all! Well done, Owls!
Powerful Publishing
Owl Class have loved publishing their work from this term to be put on display in the corridor. We have been reading ‘A Monster Calls’ by Patricia Ness and the children have loved writing for a variety of purposes including letters, diary entries, balanced arguments and descriptions. Here are some photos of them taking pride when publishing their final pieces! Well done, Owl Class!
Lovely Languages Day!
On 26th September, we celebrated our annual European Day of Languages. This year, Owl Class enjoyed learning all about Germany- listening to the National Anthem, creating fact files, labelling countries in German, learning numbers, greetings, family members and trying some German food! A fabulous day was had by all! Sehr gut!
Incredible Investigating!
Today, the children became investigators as part of their outdoor learning when identifying the different invertebrates which could be found around our school site. The children had to first identify whether the animals or insects were invertebrates or not and then had to record how many they could find. This information then led to them representing their data in a bar chart and drawing informed conclusions within their science books. The children were being incredibly forensic in their investigations and it was amazing to listen to their justifications for their findings. Well done, Year 6!
Delightful Dahl Day!
The children loved partaking in celebrating Roald Dahl Day on Friday 13th September. The children learned facts about Roald Dahl and created some fabulous posters on his life. They loved paying tribute to such a fantastic author and it was brilliant to hear the facts which they could still recall from studying Dahl in previous years. Well done, Year 6!
Varying Variables
For our Computing unit this half term, the children had a brilliant discussion about the importance of variables when Programming and experimented with the impact changing a variable can have within the Scratch programme. The children then applied their mathematical knowledge when solving problems to help debug a programme. Well done, Year 6!
Careful Classifying
Linked to our Science topic of Animals including Humans, the children enjoyed our first outdoor learning session whereby they identified different animals which they could find around the school grounds and thought about how they could identify, name and classify them. The children loved exploring outside and looking at the animals and creatures in our surrounding environment. Well done, Owls!
Terrific Teamwork
Owl Class have had a tremendous start to the year when focussing on their PSHE topic of ‘Me and my Relationships’. In the first session, the children were tasked with building the strongest tower using only paper straws and limited masking tape. The children worked in pairs to create these incredible towers and we were very impressed with their perseverance and resilience with this challenging task. A fantastic start to the year, well done- Owl Class!
