As part of our PE this half term, we have been working with Newcastle Eagles during basketball sessions. We have learnt how to pass and shoot accurately before playing games. 

This half term, we have been exploring about life during the Victorian times. We have been comparing school life during the 21st Century with the Victorian era! We all agreed that would prefer to come to Brighton Avenue School now! Take a look at us reinacting life during this tough and dreadful time period.

Year 6 have been keeping fit this half term during our PE lessons focusing on fitness. We have loved working in groups to complete stations including: burpees, star jumps, press ups, sit ups and even the plank. We are looking forward to leading our own circuit sessons!

Year 6 have been looking at Northern Lights artwork. We commented on existing artwork before using pastels and chalks to create our own backgrounds. We using sketching skills to create silhouettes. Our final pieces will be coming soon!

As part of our History topic focusing on the major historical event of the sinking of the Titanic, we created our written news reports of the tragedy! We worked in groups to use iMovie to film this before editing these films. 

Over three weeks, we spent our time creating model furniture, wallpaper and the shell for our model Titanic Rooms! Take a look at some of our fantastic masterpieces!

During Computing lessons (focusing on Computational Thinkers), we have been learning about the common algorithms that computers use. We played 'Guess my Number' before discussing how this could be programmed on a Computer, using programmes like Scratch. We discussed the differences between different searches that we use on computers.

PE- Football and Hockey Warm Up Activities

As part of our PE lessons, we have been looking at warming up our bodies and preparing our muscles ready for exercise! We have loved working together to get our hearts racing during a range of circuit activities. Following on from this, we have loved developing a range of skills to apply into team games of Football and Hockey.

During D&T lessons, we are going to be designing and creating our own Titanic rooms. In the first lesson, we researched the decor of 20th Century rooms and used this to sketch what the rooms in the Titanic would have looked like. We researched the different designs on wallpaper, carpet and furniture in this time period. Keep looking back on this page to see our finished Titanic rooms!
