Year 6 trip to National Gallery

On Thursday 25th November, Year 6 set off into London on a trip to the National Gallery. In the morning, we had a talk with a guide about some paintings and then we had lunch. Then, in the afternoon, the challenge began. In our groups, we had an iPad each and a checklist. Our mission was to search the gallery for the category/ title given on the list. For example, we would be given the words ‘The Ascension’, and have to find a painting that reflects that topic.

The points are still to be added up and there is a whopping prize for the winning group.

Recently in Year 6, we have been working on some scrapbooks and other activities reflecting the National Gallery. For good pieces of work, points will be added to each group. Below, are some of the wonderful pictures taken of the art at the gallery.

Greek Storytelling and Banquet

On Thursday the 11th of November, we had a Greek storytelling competition. At the finals, we experienced a Greek banquet – within this, we held a storytelling competition. The finalists were : Finlay, Sophia, Natalie B and Katrina. We voted with voting stones – the competitors turned their backs and the audience would place a stone next to the competitor that they thought was the best.  They competed against each other but there was a tie between Finlay and Natalie B! We voted again and Finlay won, 16 stones to 13 stones. Congrats to him.

Remebrance Day at St. Matthews

Today, we remember the people who sacrificed their lives to end wars, so we prayed and sang in their honor.  We also remembered all those animals that helped – the horses who carried our weapons and the dogs who kept out the rats. We made wreaths of poppies to remember the fallen.
