Year 6 France Trip

Yes, Year 6 have gone to France!!! Leaving at 4:30 in the morning on Monday, Year 6 departed for France. We couldn’t contain our excitement travelling to the ferry port for a 5 and a half hour journey. On the ferry ride, everyone started exploring around the entertainment-packed ship. Some of us stayed in the lounge to play cards. Once we were there, we took a two and a half hour drive to la Grand Ferme – where we were staying. We participated in a range of activities including: archery, canoeing, shopping in the market, aeroball and even orienteering around Avranches following French instructions. Reluctantly, we made the long journey back, knowing that we’d made made memories for a lifetime.

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.
