Year Six projects/Autumn Term

Year 6 have been given projects on their classes countries - 6M is Poland, 6G is Great Britain and 6F is Italy.  They had to research each country and post their findings in books - some of us interviewed residents from those countries who now live in England, and also found interesting facts and maps.

We are now working on a WW II (1939-45) project incorporating recipes from those times, songs, poems and newspaper reports.

Autumn Activities - 6G

 
6M have been busy in the great outdoors at Glasbury and at school.

We've been on a nature
walk and had to identify 
different types of trees. 
We also made maps after measuring the school. 

In DT, we are making flowers and learning about how they reproduce in our Science lessons. 

In Art, we are using our sketching skills to draw the flowers and their individual parts, and in Literacy we are writing poems.

See all the Glasbury updates on our website under Media, Other FPS Media or on the Fronter Parents Room (logon:  FPSparents with password:  fairlop) or on our NEW playground video screen.

Our visit to Ilford Mosque

On Thursday 23rd June we went to the Mosque in Ilford. We travelled there by bus, which took about 40minutes. When we arrived at the mosque there was a special man there to greet us. he was called an Imam. He was very friendly and made us feel welcome. He and 2 friends showed us around the mosque and explained that before they pray they have to wash all over including their feet. When you enter the mosque you all have to remove your shoes first. Then they took us upstairs to an area where Muslim children are taught all about Islam.
Before we left the men said a special prayer which lasted about half an hour. After this we all put our shoes back on and set back off to school. It was a memorable trip which we all enjoyed and it was interesting listening to other peoples religion.

Science week

On the 18th of March it was science week. In the afternoon all of year 5 switched classrooms and did different science activities. First 5R went to Mrs stokes classroom and did dancing food. In this activity we had to put a raison into some lemonade and then watched what they did.  We all really enjoyed this activity.
Next 5R went to Miss Morgan’s class where she taught us how to measure how much fat is in different foods.


Finally we went back to our own classrooms and did crazy custard. This was where we made custard and then let it go hard and then we put our fingers through it to see how it felt. This was a really crazy experience but also a lot of messy fun!

   

Year 5 at Christmas!

This week Year 5 are having their Christmas parties, which will be held in 5M, 5S and 5R classrooms. Some people have bring in a CD to listen to. We are having a dancing competition and the winners will be awarded medals.

Heritage Day - 5S were Switzerland for the day!

Friday the 19th of November is Heritage Day. Every year all the classes represent a country, and our country is Switzerland. We all have to dress up in the colour of the flag red and white. I am going to wear my school uniform and a masking tape cross along my red jumper.
 We paraded in the playground with loads of adults taking pictures we felt like superstars!!! Stalls were set up for school and we were lucky to be able to get pizza from pizza hut!



We enjoyed the parade, and visiting the stalls afterwards. There were loads to see – henna, ice cream, milkshakes, cakes, samosas and a chocolate fountain!

Remembrance Day - 11th November

The Cenotaph is a war memorial in London.   It was built during the first World War to remember the people who fought and died in the war. Every year people from all over the UK and the world visit the Cenotaph to pay tribute and to hear these words:



They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.


At the going down of the sun and in the morning,
We will remember them.
Laurence Binyon
