World Book Week

 Year 6 had an amazing opportunity today to work with Sue the Storyteller and learn how to tell a story.

They first heard the story of Why dogs sniff other dogs ‘A tale about tails’. 

Sue then talked them through. Story telling board. Children then worked in groups of 4 to practice retelling the story.

They learnt the story about an old mayor who held a competition for a new mayor, again practicing telling it but this time against the clock - with the time limit getting shorter!

Finally, they had a sit and listen story about a true story set in Freshwater and The Needles - The Irex (1890)

Children worked well, all had a go at story telling and listened well when Sue was telling her story. 

Thank you Sue!

South America

 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.
