Class 6 have been very busy in and out of the class as the end of term quickly approaches.  After an exhausting week of swimming lessons, the class were still able to sing beautifully at the Festival Voice and did a wonderful job of representing our school at the opening ceremony.  It really was such a special occasion for everyone involved.

Amongst all this, fairy and gnome homes have begun to appear in the forest, the fire pit has undergone a transformation and fire sticks are being made in woodwork for the highly anticipated lighting of the bonfire for the winter festival.

We have also just finished up our Ancient Rome main lesson where the children formed a senate and established a set of class laws.  We looked at different roman inventions and technologies which we still use today.  The children wrote a report along with a picture and a clay model.  No Ancient Civilizations main lesson is complete without a feast so next Wednesday we will be cooking and feasting like emperors.

Our final main lesson for this term is Geology and Mineralogy.  The children will learn all about the structure of the earth, how volcanos and mountains are formed, different types of rocks and minerals including crystals, and how ancient stories that have been passed down for thousands of years help to inform geologists of significant events in history.
