Year 6 homework is set weekly (usually Maths and English tasks) and is generally a reflection of what has been covered in class that week.

When appropriate, mini projects or topic based homework will be set to help reinforce the children’s learning in class.

Year 6 have started a new animation project. This is our Blog to show you our progress…

13th March 2018 – In our first session we watched videos about different ways of producing/animating our traditional tale. Two of the videos were of us when we were in Dolphins and Whales. We saw “Going On A Bear Hunt” and “A holiday in Spain”. Next we talked about the way we could do things but in more detail. Mr Irvine told us to think about and talk about what approach we wanted to take to our animation and we would have a vote in the next session. – Matthew

21st March 2018 – We wrote on a piece of  paper about the scenes of “The Ginger Bread Man”. Mr Irvine showed us a video of us when we were in Dolphins, but this was no ordinary video. It was a video of us performing “We Are Going on a Bear Hunt” using green screen technology and a video of some of us when we were in whales doing Spain. Izzy and Lauren were the best part. We talked about Joshua’s lego and decided that he was going to bring some in to use as our character. We also decided what backgrounds and what other characters and equipment we are going to use in our animation.  – Holly 

11th April – Today in computing we looked up images on the computers in our groups and found pictures for our backgrounds of The Ginger Bread Man animation that we are working on. Then we showed Mr Irvine the images that we had found to make sure that they were appropriate. Each group had something different to look up e.g. pictures of a river, a kitchen, a lake and a forest. – Amelia
