Year 6 Activity Week January 2008: Day 4: Sculpture, Cookery, ICT and Printing

Well, it is the end of the end of another fun filled day. Today all children have been involved in a variety of activities, all of which they have enjoyed.

Activity 1: ICT

Today children have enjoyed writing on our blog, creating Photostory videos, where they have been able to compile a selection of pictures taken throughout the week with music and add subtitles. Just take a look at some of the children's work, they are fantastic!!

Video Editing

Some children also had the opportunity to interview people participating in different activities and film their responses. I do believe we could have some budding reporters.

Activity 2: Sculpture

The second activity of the day was to be able to create part of a sculpture that is to be a permanent feature outside the new school entrance. Children were involved in creating clothes, accessories (bags, caps, belts etc), boots and even re-creating different heads for the three children that make up the sculpture and represent friendship and the school motto 'believe in yourself'. Take a look at the sculpture in the making and keep your eyes open ready for the finished product outside the school. Coming soon.......

Activity 3: Cookery

I think everyone really enjoyed this activity, especially eating the food. Children spent time making pizzas and they even had a go at making some cakes and icing them. All children really enjoyed a lunch of homemade pizza, jacket potatoes and salad.

Activity 4: Fantastic Fish

The last activity was printing. Children spent time looking closely at pictures of tropical fish and recreated these images by carving them out of lino, they then rolled ink over the image and placed the inked carving onto material. Each child created a fish which will be sewn together to create a wall hanging. This will be put up in school as a lasting memory of the work of year 6.
