The Tigers have been finishing off their pieces of artwork this afternoon. They were tasked to use colour as well as Pop art style ideas to represent Queen Victoria’s personality. They are looking fantastic! Miss Stephenson #dcpstiger #dcpsart #dcpshistory
Today, the Tigers have begun their new genre focus in English which has a wintry theme - the Christmas jumpers helped to get us into the Christmas spirit! We loved using a slow write structure to kick start our unit. Miss Stephenson #dcpsenglish #DCPStiger
Yesterday, year 6 Tigers were writing up their hot write newspaper articles which were based on our class text ‘Street Child’. We were able to include eye witness reports and passive structures to ensure that our articles were as realistic as possible. Miss Stephenson #dcpstiger #dcpsenglish #dcpsict
Year 6 Tigers have had a great day working alongside Mr Brown to create their own singing Christmas decorations. This morning, they worked to a brief to design and create their prototypes before moving onto the computing task. They used Microbits to bring their Christmas decoration to life by coding them to display messages and play a Christmas tune. They were able to read musical notation to code their Microbits to play the correct notes. What a great day! Miss Stephenson #dcpsmusic #DCPStiger #dcpsdt #dcpscomputing #dcpsict
Year 6 Tigers had an art-filled day yesterday. We have been comparing the artwork of Queen Victoria to that of more modern artists who use different mediums and different styles. In doing this, we have been focused on using colour and a mixture of styles and mediums to represent the characteristics of Queen Victoria. Miss Stephenson #DCPStiger #dcpsart #dcpshistory
Our visitors from Nuffield Heath have been in again today talking about the level of sugar found in our food. We have been looking at the traffic light system on foods; we were shocked by how much sugar there is in everyday foods we eat! #dcpslion #dcpspshe #DCPStiger
Year 6 Tigers have enjoyed a Christmas themed samba session today where they were tasked to use their knowledge of rhythm and formal notation to create their own samba rhythm. We put this altogether as a class to play their Christmas samba routine in a round. Miss Stephenson #dcpsmusic #DCPStiger
Year 6 Tigers have been applying their skills of place value and number to a problem solving activity this week. They had to work through a set of problem solving activities using skills such as ordering and comparing numbers, rounding as well as addition and subtraction to work out which artist was the best. We were really able to show off what we know! Miss Stephenson #dcpsmath #DCPStiger
