Curriculum week - Uniquely me!

Year 6 had a fabulous time last week during our curriculum week. The week explored aspects of what makes us all unique, different and the vibrant, colourful community that we are here at Northmoor.
Tuesday afternoon - We took part in a Maths activity where we collated data about the different languages that are spoken within our classes. From this, we created bar charts and interrogated this using our own questions.
Wednesday afternoon - We worked in pairs to complete a drama activity where one of us was the interviewer and the other person was the interviewee. We asked each other questions about their culture, home life, hobbies and personality traits and then swapped over.
Thursday afternoon - This was a very exciting afternoon where our parents came in to take part in a creative activity. We explored family crests and how these have been used both past and present. We looked at symbols to represent and created our own crests.
Friday afternoon - Finally, the wrote our own poems to describe ourselves using the information we'd learnt and discovered throughout the week!
Please keep an eye on on school spider/emails for our next events when parent can attend - it would be lovely to see as many parents as possible!

Our second day at Robinwood was even better than the first! It was a much longer day today with activities all morning and afternoon. Much like yesterday, all the children have shown great enthusiasm and pushed themselves to take part in all of the activities. There was no doubt that all of the children were ready for their beds by the end of the day!
