I was really proud of year 6 as they wrote a diary entry about their experience either in a tsunami,or an earthquake. The children used some great geographical vocabulary as well.
This term the children will be studying South America. Here is a copy of their journey. During the first part of the lesson, the children recapped the different lines of latitude and longitude they have learnt throughout key stage 2. Then, they compared four different types of maps about South America: relief maps, political maps, tectonic plate maps and language maps. Finally, the children used their knowledge of longitude and latitude as well as understanding that there is 15 degrees between each line of latitude on a map. Once this was understood, the children identified the latitude and longitude for different places on the world map.
Today year 6 revised rivers and continent vocabulary. They then identified in which continent they would find a particular river. They then used a help mat and a given sentence structure to write some sentences, describing rivers and continents.
Year 6 today have been learning about musical notes and the beats attached to them. They then looked closely at a small section of Stravinsky’s melody. We clapped out the rhythm (several times - due to some random beats!) and then had a try at playing this section on the xylophones.
