Year 6 Blog

 The lesson today started with the children identifying how coastline can be affected by man. There answers were: climate change, rubbish, land being built on, erosion from sea defences not being used or replaced as well as building walls or revetments for man to use.  The children were then given two case studies which highlighted how two different countries had changed their coastlines and why; Ghana and United Arab Emirates. The children read the information and then discussed how the land had been reclaimed in one and the effect on the physical and human geography.

 Year 6 completed their theme park design. They then added in minimum heights and ages for their rides, ticket prices and opening hours. 

 Year 6 revised the theme park vocabulary learnt in this unit. They then decided on a theme for their theme park and started designing a map of their park with their partners.  Next week they’ll add in minimum heights and ages for each ride they’ve drawn in.

 Year 6 practised numbers and multiples of 10. They then chose 5 rides that they would like to include in their own theme parks. They looked at the rides and decided on minimum heights fro each ride using the sentence structure, Il me faut ….. They then wrote some sentences using il y a .

 The one that they’ve been waiting for - The Aqua Park. Despite the chill in the air and a little rain, the children had a blast! Pushing each other in (and the occasional grown-up!!), the children laughed, jumped, slid, splashed, helped each other, plotted and many other things!  Well done Year 6 - you have done yourselves proud and deserved the fun!

 As the weather shone, and the children had worked incredibly hard, we took them on a walk to Gurnard Bay and treated them to an ice-cream. It was a wonderful atmosphere with lots of chatting and laughing and ice cream!
