Talent show and self-portraits

This week Year 6 have begun preparing for their end of year talent show/performance. There are some fantastic acts and they have all been working really hard to get them perfect. We are sure it is going to be a brilliant show. They have prepared a couple of songs for the occasion which are sure to get emotional, so be prepared!

In art, everyone was set the challenge of drawing a self-portrait in fifteen minutes with no guidance. Then, we went through, step-by-step how to draw a portrait with better proportions, shading and features. The difference in that hour was incredible! Have a look at some of the transformations in the collage. The children were amazed at how a little bit of concentration and setting out more carefully could result in such a dramatic change. We definitely have some budding artists in the year group!

In maths, we are finishing work on our theme park maths. Groups are now competing to have the biggest profit at the end of the week. They have decided on admission prices, how to advertise and will finish tomorrow with calculating their final expenditure and income...will they have a profit? Will they be in the red? They will then have a go at advertising in front of each other to see which theme parks would be most popular.

In literacy, we will be thinking about saying thank you to those who have helped us over the years as we come to the end of our time at Bradway. It is nice to reflect on the important role both adults and our peers have played and how our time at Bradway has helped us grow and develop.

We are, of course, all looking forward to Whitby next week. Just a reminder that we need you all to be at school by 8:30 on Monday, rather than the usual time, wearing clothing that is comfortable for a walk around Whitby when we arrive. You will also need a packed lunch for the day with a bottle that can be re-filled. Remember some of the most important items: raincoat (especially after this week!), towel, comfortable shoes, any items of medication (which should have been included on your medical form), pyjamas, toothbrush and toothpaste and enough clothes for the 3 days. Have a lovely weekend and see you on Monday!
