Art - sketching like Priscilla Coleman
In art this week, we have been learning to sketch in the style of our focus artist Priscilla Coleman. We focused on proportions in our drawing and how to add shade. Next week, we are going to combine our mark-making skills using pastels and our sketching skills to create a piece of courtroom-style art in pastel.
year 6 roles and responsibilities
Our Year 6 roles and responsibilities have now been established. These roles allow the children to be active members of the wider school community and act as positive role models for all members of our Kingsacre family.
family group captains
Our Family Group Captains have been elected as part of a whole-school democratic election. After delivering excellent campaign speeches to their Family Groups and collating the votes, our new school leaders have been established.
playground leaders
Our playground leaders volunteer each day to lead active breaktime and lunchtime activities for the whole school to enjoy.
tech leaders
Our Tech Leaders work with staff across the school to support the teaching of Computing. They help with the organisation of devices throughout the school.
rainbow team
Our Rainbow Lanyard Team are always 'Here to Help!' at breaktimes and lunchtimes, As part of our Mental Health provision at Kingsacre, the team offer support to all children across the school.
Volleyball festival
Year 6 children from Kingsacre joined fellow Year 6's from Caen, Southmead and Marwood schools for the first of their transition sports festivals. The aim of this was for the children to meet other Year 6 children from local schools who they may meet when they transition to secondary school next September as well as to promote and enjoy a sport they may not have tried before. Thank you Caen Primary School for hosting this event.
Art - ceramics workshop
We were invited to take part in a ceramics workshop at West Buckland School. We discussed the significance of the poppy as a symbol of Remembrance then all made two poppies out of clay. In the afternoon we were able to glaze some poppies that has already been fired in the kiln. The glaze looked pink when we painted it on but the heat of the kiln causes a chemical reaction with the glass in the glaze so our poppies will turn a deep red.
The poppies will be on show at West Buckland and will then go 'on tour'. Kingsacre will be first to host the installation for Remembrance next year - Autumn 2026. We can't wait to see the mound turned into a sea of ceramic poppies.
Thank you to West Buckland for an amazing day!
Art - wet and dry media
Wax Crayon
Chalk
Water-colour pencil
Oil Pastel
In art, we have been exploring how we can make marks with different media. We used wax crayons, chalk, oil pastels and water-colour pencils.
Science - reflection
In Science, the children have been learning about reflection. This built on their learning from the previous week where they discovered how light travels in straight lines. They set up a collaborative investigation using a mirror and cardboard with a small slit in it to observe light rays. They discovered that the angles of incidence and reflection are equal.
PE - Fitness
Wall Sits
Planks
Step-Ups
Wall Sits
Year 6 took part in an energetic circuit training session as part of their fitness lessons in PE. They completed a series of timed exercises including reverse sit-ups, step-ups, burpees, high knees, wall sits and jumping jacks.
music - samba
Year 6 were very excited to see the Samba Kit arrive! In their Music lessons, the class have already been learning different percussion rhythms in preparation for playing Samba.
They have used different word patterns to help them learn the rhythms. Some of the instruments you can see here are the Surdo (the bass drum) the Tamborim, the Agogo bells and the Ganza (the shaker).
