This week in Year 6 have been looking at Self-Control as one of the Fruits of the Spirit.
We looked at the definition of self-control and how we could best display it. We set up some scenarios and carried out some role play. We also discussed the time when Jesus was tempted in the Wilderness and showed an abundance of self-control.
It has been great to have the children back this week, they seem so keen and focused. We were excited to hear we had an International link with a school in India. Today, we have been working hard writing letters to our new friends in India. They also watched a video on New Dehli,the children were keen to make comparisons.
This was a momentous day for Year 6. The children took part in their graduation ceremony and were very emotional and proud when telling of their fond memories of the times at St Clement’s.
We moved swiftly onto our class production ‘ Robin and the Nechells Hoodies’ It was a super performance with all the children enjoying their new found acting roles. The children sung beautifully too and the parents were very impressed.
Well done Year 6, you were a credit to yourselves ,the staff and your family. We wish you every success in your Secondary Schools.
On Monday, Year 6 took part in the Leavers service in St Martin’s Church,Bullring, Birmingham.
The children had to share in a service with other children from Year 6 classes through out the borough. They celebrated differences and being accepted for who they are. Each child had to make a name card and glasses that reflected their personality.
We had a picnic lunch on return from the church.
During Health Week, Year 6 invited parents to join them in a workshop checking and measuring pulse rates before exercise, after exercise and then again resting. We came into the classroom and compared results using a line graph. We also asked questions from our data.
In design and technology this week, we were looking at making Dia de Muertos as part of our ‘Hola Mexico’ topic. We had to draw our designs onto felt and cut out two identical felt skulls. We then had to join both sides together with blanket-stitch or over-stitch. Then it was stuffed with kapok.
The skulls were decorated with sequins to replicate the Dia de Muertos
On Monday we went to Woodlands activity centre in Streetly. It was an action packed day full of adventure and thrills. The children were full of energy and raring to go. Activities included zip wire, canoeing, assault course and archery. The weather was kind and the children thoroughly enjoyed themselves and it was nice to see their confidence grow.
.
Today, Year 6 took part in a inter-school competition at The Hub, in Perry Barr. It was a great morning of football and all the St Clement’s teams played well. Unfortunately, we didn’t make the finals but we had a very enjoyable morning. Man of the match was Tyler Billingham-Roberts , who was outstanding in defence and Ali Abubakr made some exceptional saves.
On Monday 21st May Year 6 visited the local Mosque in Aston. The children have been studying Islam this term and wanted to broaden their knowledge.
The Imam was very ,very pleased with the children’s knowledge of Islam and the children responded well to questions being asked of them.
This week Year 6 completed their SATs and put 100% effort into all of them . Today we were celebrating the Royal wedding and all the children were enjoying the time to relax after the pressure of SATs.
