We’re back at school for the new academic year and here in Brass Class we have already had a busy start…
The first week of Year 6 has flown by – we have settled in well and have already embraced the demands of Year 6 (and had fun too, of course!). We have been thinking a lot about our goals and aspirations for the future and have written letters to ourselves to read at the end of Year 6; we can’t wait to look back at them.
Our topic for this term is the ‘Mysterious Maya’ and we have been learning more about the Mayan civilisation. For our launch, we learnt about what they ate and drank. Did you know that they loved chocolate? So guess what we got to drink… hot chocolate! Not only this, but we did it the Mayan way and put chilli and cinnamon in it too! It was a first for many of us.
In history this week, we worked in groups to create a timeline and we plotted some key dates and events that we have previously learnt about in school, for example the Moon Landing and the Great Fire of London. We also plotted the dates of the Mayan civilisation, which lasted for over 3 thousand years.
We can’t believe we’ve already spent a week in Year 6 – where does the time go? We are looking forward to seeing what the year ahead brings and the adventures that are coming our way.
