Cultural Poetry Year 6
We wrote poems based around our family culture. Previous to this we had looked at a variety of poets and discussed how they put poetry onto paper.
We enjoyed writing the poems and performing them in front of each other.
Jigsaw – Year 6
The children were shown images that showed airbrushing. The children were asked to comment on what they see, which image they prefer and how they brink the girl in the picture sees herself. They were then shown images of celebrities before and after airbrushing.
In tell me or show me, the children were asked to write as many words as they could that described their real self onto the real self image template. The then highlighted the words that were related to body image. The children were then asked to reflect on the importance of body image as part of their overall self image.

“What I have enjoyed about Jigsaw so far is looking at differences and learning about different cultures.”

Year 6 Poetry
For the next two weeks Year 6 are studying poetry. Looking the language features and the structure of different styles of poems.
The children have been looking at poems which reflect their culture and heritage . Some children even asked their parents to write poems in their native transcript. We have Polish, Dutch, German, Italian and Arabic poems. The children were confident reading these aloud in class too.

Jigsaw – Year 6
We started today’s jigsaw lesson with the Calm Me exercise to prepare ourselves to learn.
Sitting in a circle, the teacher squeezed the hand of the child on her right. The child then passed the squeeze onto the next child. Then they were asked to close their eyes and pass on the squeeze. The children were asked how they felt doing it with their eyes closed.
The children were then asked to complete a sentence in their Jigsaw Journals: Being normal is……. The children then had to write their definition of what they felt was normal.
R.E Year 6
This term in Year 6 we are looking at SALVATION. We begun by using the statement ‘for Christians should Easter be more important than Christmas? We put post-its on whether we agreed or disagreed with the statement on our RE display.
We looked at the stations of the cross, spent time discussing each station and then placed them in order. Independently we each selected a station and wrote a descriptive paragraph explaining it.
