We used bread and sweets to learn how fossilisation occurs. The children placed the sweets in between the bread and placed a heavy book on top to show how layers of sedimentary rock and minerals form over time. After a few days, we were able to see how the shape of the sweet was indented on the bread.

Canterbury Cathedral – Weds 6th November
Year 6 visited Canterbury Cathedral on Wednesday. We had the opportunity to reflect and pray. There were workshop activities such as: stone masonry, charters, stained glass windows, sculpture, music and book making.
Mrs Liddell and a group of children created a wonderful banner which we walked through the Cathedral as part of a procession.
Some children read out prayers to the congregation. They did a great job!
Tudor Dance
Last term Year 6 learnt some different Tudor Dances. This enabled us to link our topic and PE lessons. We learnt how to do a Tudor Farandole – this was great fun:
Then we learnt the Horses Branle (this was a little more tricky as we had to remember the steps!)
Then we had a go at creating our own versions of the Horse Branle.
We look forward to showing these to you at a Tudor event we are planning for this term.
Topic Overview
Please see below our Topic Overview for the first part of the term. We will update this in a few weeks when we change from Tudors to WW2.
Tiempo Dance
Year 6 had great fun learning some new routines!
Star of the Week
This week’s Star of the Week is Lexxi. Lexxi was nominated by Mrs Liddell for her positive attitude towards her reading. Well done!
