We are halfway through Year 6! Here are a selection of photos from the last few weeks. These include: creating our own artwork to show different emotions, using mixed media; learning gymnastics shapes and sequences with Mrs Mooney; fun extra-curricular PE days doing karate and a sponsored bounce; and doing some great written work about the heart after a dissection lesson – including some fantastic pencil sketches.
The class have been working really hard this half term – and we’re very much looking forward to the residential next half term!
Have a great week everyone!
The class had a brilliant Science lesson this week. Dr Clare, a local GP, came in to do a dissection of a pig’s heart for us! We used the desk camera to show the details of each part of the heart on the board, while matching them up with the diagrams that we had used in our previous learning. Seeing a real example really helped to bring our learning to life, and the children were amazed at being able to see the different veins, arteries and chambers, and imagine how the blood flows through them. Whilst there were several shocked faces at first (see picture!), it was a fantastic session and every single child came up to touch it at the end – with gloves of course! One of the girls asked if we can do a brain dissection next… but we’ll stick with the heart for now!
Our Christmas performance this year was: A Funny Thing Happened On The Way To Camelot. The show was a humorous rendition of the story of King Arthur and his quest to find Camelot with lots of funny lines, songs, dances and crowd participation throughout. Years 5 & 6 worked together and we really enjoyed making it – we hope the audience enjoyed it too. Below are just a few snapshots of the show. As you can see, our play included some brilliant costumes (thanks parents). We also hope you likes the dame’s jokes! “We’ll you soon – ta-ta!”

Year 6 had a brilliant trip to Gressenhall last week. They dressed up as WW2 evacuees and spent the day learning what life would have been like for children at that time. They enjoyed going inside an Anderson shelter, working on the farm, learning about the Women’s Land Army, finding out more about rationing and training with the Home Guard. It was a great day and they all learned a lot from it – as well as being able to share lots of facts from our History lessons. We will be using the day as inspiration for our writing in the next couple of weeks – keep a look out for some examples to be shared on here!
A few pictures from the first few weeks of term – Music technology, close-up drawings in Art and tag-rugby games in PE. The children have been working hard on their artwork this term and are currently working on their final pieces of the units – self-portraits in the style of Frida Kahlo. Stay posted for their finished pictures!
Felbrigg have really enjoyed their block of Forest Schools sessions with Jules this half term. They’ve been doing all sorts of crafts, exploring and playing, and even made their own fires! A huge thanks to Jules for the lovely sessions – Sandringham are next!
Year 6 had a lovely visit from Greening Wymondham today – each child was gifted a tree to take home and plant somewhere. The team were really helpful and told us all lots of great facts about the importance of trees and all of the work that they do in our community. The class enjoyed being able to select their own tree and were very excited to plant them.
