Welcome to our blog!

Komodo Dragon Base pulled South Africa out of our World Cup draw - which means we have taken on South Africa as our learning journey this half term.

Not only will we be focusing on the World cup and tracking South Africa's progress, but we will also be learning through International Arts week, Nelson Mandela and why people in different countries were and are treated differently.

Keep you eyes peeled on our blog as lots of exciting things will be happening!

Rose Blanche the book

This week in year 6, we have been looking at the book called  Rosa Blanche. We have been writing different things about the book each day including an observers point of view. Today we have stepped into one of the chartacter's shoes and we have been writing a thought bubble of what they were thinking at the time in the scene. So far, it has been great fun and everyone is really getting into the work they have been set! Also the book is fiction so of course, nothing in the book ever happened so if you get into tears you will know that it did not ever happen!

Blog On Rose Blanche

This week we have been reading Rose Blanche and we have been doing things on her and the book.

We have been doing role on a wall,a cube,writing from her opinion and doing thier point a view.There are 2 main characters, Rose Blanche and the Fat Mayor.

The role on a wall is where we put things inside and then we put things out side it of what the words mean.

The cube is writing 4 main points on a cube template and then we write what they mean under it in colour.

When we were writing the opinion from Rose Blanche, we had to write all the things and we had to write how we were feeling.

Then on Friday we did writing from a character's point a view. I did the Fat Mayor you cud do the Fat Mayor or Rose Blanche or a little tiny boy who jumped  out the back of a truck what brock down.

Rose Blanche

Since the 20th of February year six has been looking at a book called Rose Blanche.

This book is about a young german girl called Rose Blanche in World War Two . Over the past five days the children of year six have been doing activities in the morning about this book. One group had to write a letter in Rose Blanche's perspective about a problem that happened in the book.

On the 25th of Frebruary the children wrote a thought bubble for the mayor of the trown, a little Jewish boy or Rose Blanche. This is some of  the work year six did over the last five days.

Blog for Rose Blanche


This past week we have been reading Rose Blanche,we also have been concentrating on the book in our writing. I think the book is really good because it always hooks you in from the exciting writing and pictures.
There are two main characters in the book Rose Blanche and the Mayor who they call the fat Mayor.
Rose Blanche is about a girl who lives with her mum and her town has gone to war,she gets very confused from the events in here town and one day she goes missing. She goes missing the day everyone leaves the town.

Basketball training

In year six we have been doing some basketball training with a basketball  coach, It was very fun and enjoyable experience. We learnt how to dribble and pass properly, we also learnt the triple threat posistion but we only done a little bit of shooting. We had to call our coach coach L or coach , we had a go at spinning the ball on the palm of our hands but no one could do that or spin it on their finger. We practiced chest passing and bounce passing in pairs.
Overall I think it is a great game but I still think football is better.

Basket Ball!!!

Last week on the 28th of January, we were being tought how to play proper basket ball by a real coach!  He was teaching us how we should always use our fingers and not just the palm of our hand, otherwise our precision would have been pretty bad.  We were also learning skills which professionals used in real matches like spinning round and dodging people that were in our way!  He also tought us how to bounce the ball through our legs which was a wicked skill!  I think everybody would love to do it again, I would!!!

The Piano!!!!!!!!!!

The past few days, we have been looking at the short video clip of the Piano.  We have looked at the imotions of the different scenes.
The clip has funny, sad and normal feelings included.  We drew graphs on a scale of 1 - 10 of how imotional it was.

My favourite part is at the end where the old man smiled at is grandson, it made everyone laugh.

Science on salt and water

 In year 6 for Science we have been doing  experiments and one of them is water and salt.

What I mean is we have a cup of water and put some salt in it [By the way you can test this if you want to] then you get some string and a pensil and tie the string to the pensil. After you put some food colouring in the cup,then put it on you window then just wait and in a couple of days the salt will climb on the string and the water will evapourate.

Thats what we have done for some of Our science for now.

Science Competition!!!!

In year 6 we entered a fantastic science competition. The science competition was to do a report about the long term effects of space travel on the biology of the body. Suggest what astronauts can do to stay fit and healthy.

It was very long tittle to write!  First we wrote it out in our book then we copied it out on to our laptops. We wrote lots, I did a paragragh on Radiation and lots more, obviously. Radiation comes from three main sources, but I will not tell you too much about it though, because the reports are going to be on our blog, so make sure that you look for them.

After we had done all of that we had to tie a piece of string to a pencil and put it in.After a while crystals will climb up the string.
