After doing some research on Ancient Greek pottery and creating our own paper greek pots, we then made our own Greek pots out of clay. Once the clay had dried, we designed the decoration for our pots and painted them! We are very pleased with the finished results!

Today saw the third poetry recital. In Mandela Class we are lucky enough to have Mr Harvey work with us to help a different group (each half term) to learn a poem off by heart and recite it to the rest of the class. This is a skill, which is not only part of the Year 6 expectations for reading, but is also a life skill which prepares the children for High School and beyond. It always amazes me how all different types of children respond to the task and the change which occurs in their confidence and ability in just 6 weeks. This group did particularly well as they missed some sessions due to isolating, sadly one member of the group was late into school today, so missed his chance to perform. Well done to those who took part!

The answer is ‘yes’ for some items and ‘no’ for the others. Our first attempt at a Branching KeyGood use of these Learning Gems: |
