Friday 10th October
 
This week, we started a new unit in English, based around a short animation called "The Catch". After orally learning the text, we spent time exploring the character and story with a range of drama activities, and what fun we had! Enjoy looking at some of the hilarious facial expressions below!
Friday 3rd October
 
Another great week in North America class, where we have been up to all sorts, including making progress in our DT projects (keep checking back for updates regarding this!!), members from our class competing in the Gateshead cross country tournament, taking part in a live National Poetry Day workshop and holding a debate about which factor was most significant and led to the start of the Industrial Revolution. 
 
We also had a really successful science lesson, exploring different ways in which shadows could be changed. We conducted an investigation where we changed the distance of an object from a light source, and carefully measured and recorded data. A great week all round, well done Year 6!

On Tuesday 23rd September, Mrs Sanderson and I had the please of taking 20 Year 6 children to Ryton Rugby Club for a Tag Rugby tournament. The children were all an absolute credit to school and their families, displaying enthusiasm, teamwork and respect at all times. It was a thoroughly enjoyable afternoon for all, with lots of trys scored, and lots of tags, tagged! Emmaville A and Emmaville B finished 2nd and 3rd respectively, and came away with pin badges and certificates to celebrate their achievements. Well done to all!

I can't believe we are already three weeks into the start of a new school year, and I continue to be so impressed Year 6. This week saw our school council elections, and I was so proud of each child who stood up to speak. They spoke with confidence, passion and vision as they expressed why they would make good school councillors, and what they thought would benefit our school. Not only did they think of things that would benefit our class, but also the wider community and environment, and this demonstrates what brilliant individuals we have the pleasure of teaching. If only they could all represent us. A special thanks to Freddie and Tabitha, who launched and closed the voting proceedings. I just had to share with you how Freddie opened...
 
"Hello North America, Freddie speaking to you today. Just a quick reminder that all of you lot are amazing, and in my opinion, everyone deserves to be on the school council. However, there can only be two people so good luck to you all, and remember, you are all amazing."
 
I couldn't have put it better myself Freddie!

Hello, and welcome to our class page for Year 6! 
 
What an absolutely fantastic first week we have had to start this new academic year, and it has been so nice to start to get to know this wonderful new group of children. They have returned to school with a spring in their step, and an eagerness to learn, and I know we have got great things to look forward to as the year progresses. 
 
Keep an eye on this page throughout the year to see the adventures and achievements we get up to throughout Year 6!
