Year 6 learned how the internet works by playing a game to illustrate how information is sent via packets down fibre optic cables which criss cross on the bottom of our oceans. Many found it amazing! 

Last Tuesday, we were fortunate to have Pete return to coach the children, from Norfolk County Cricket.  There were some excellent catches and rather hard hits. An enjoyable afternoon all round. Thanks to Mr Whitney for organising it. 

Year 6 have been learning about the dangers of plastic pollution and how to use powerful emotive language in persuasion. I was impressed by their interest in this subject  and how much they have learned. Here are a few of their persuasive speeches. Super job Year 6!

We are so lucky at All Saints to have Rev Varnon. Mr V, as we call him, comes in to support Year 6 every Monday. At lunchtimes he has a small singing group who sing folk type songs. Today Mrs Budgett was invited to listen, they really are great! Well done everyone, we need a performance soon.

Year 6 showed a medley of emotions today when meeting Ed’s pets: Barry and Frank, the African Land Snails; Mildred the African millipede; Salsa the milksnake; Winston the Bearded Dragon and Trudie the Tarantula. Some children showed courage, others were rather timid as seen by their facial expressions. Thanks goes to Mr Whitney for organising a fun Friday activity.

The object of this game is to try to steal tags from the opposing team and get them back in your own half without having one of your belts stolen. The team who has stolen the most belts wins. This is an energetic game as it involves being quick and nimble on your feet, dodging and twisting and trying to out-manoeuvre  your opponent. There is much excitement and heat generated!

Year 6 have been learning about sustainability in Geography and the dangers of plastic pollution to marine life in our oceans. In English we are learning about persuasive texts and the use of emotive language and imagery to persuade. We looked at images of a Boaconstrictor strangling its prey and used this to write metaphorically of the dangers of plastic in our oceans, using personification, metaphors and alliteration. I was proud of what Year 6 wrote. 

We have just completed reading the gripping and action packed book -The Golden Horsemen of Baghdad by Saviour Pirotta. In response the children wrote book reviews. Clearly this book engaged the class so I recommend they look out for other titles by this author to read for themselves.
