During our visit to the Farrell Centre with IntoUniversity, we put our architecture skills to the test as we created a park for seagulls, a museum for elephants and a supermarket for snakes. @FallaParkSchool @Miss_Carr_Falla @Mrs_Crellin @MissBaharie pic.twitter.com/7IgbAJ1uvm

We’ve had a fantastic day with IntoUniversity at The Farrell Centre (@UniofNewcastle). We explored their exhibitions as we considered the importance of signs in the community. @FallaParkSchool @Miss_Carr_Falla @Mrs_Crellin pic.twitter.com/bSUD0aw6n7

Work has begun on our first secret mission ✉️ with IntoUniversity. We wonder if our team names could be a clue? 🕵️ @FallaParkSchool @Miss_Carr_Falla @Mrs_Crellin pic.twitter.com/agL36aLXvI

Year 6 started their art topic on activism last week. We started by exploring the work of Luba Lukosva and how we can use her stylistic decisions in our own work.@FallaParkSchool @Miss_Carr_Falla @MissBaharie pic.twitter.com/uYcAIycn5E

In English, Year 6 have continued to create their non-chronological report on mountains 🏔️. We looked at how best to structure our paragraphs so information was cohesive to the reader. @FallaParkSchool @Miss_Carr_Falla @Miss__McVeigh pic.twitter.com/Y7ygv1AjgP

In Science, Year 6 have explored whether we’re able to grow microorganisms. We stored slices of bread around school and evaluated how much mould had grown. We’ve learnt mould grows best in dark or damp conditions. @FallaParkSchool @Miss_Carr_Falla @Mrs_Crellin pic.twitter.com/WEXto4AahJ

In English, Year 6 have consolidated their learning on relative clauses. We had two sentences but had to prioritise the importance of our sentences to create our relative clause, whilst up levelling the sentence quality too!@FallaParkSchool @Miss_Carr_Falla @Miss__McVeigh pic.twitter.com/N9sn7yKpS9

Today, Year 6 continued to use the Cuisenaire Rods in maths. We used the, to help us create bar models to represent our number stories, which included facts on triangles!@MissDoyle_Falla @FallaParkSchool @Miss_Carr_Falla pic.twitter.com/5qljKMm93m

Today in Maths, Year 6 used the Cuisenaire Rods to explore an additive and multiplicative relationship by creating their own models. @MissDoyle_Falla ask us what additive and multiplicative means and we’ve got the perfect answer!@FallaParkSchool @Miss_Carr_Falla pic.twitter.com/0p2CdF9D3Y

Year 6 consolidated their knowledge on Proper and Common Nouns in English. We played a pairs game before recording nouns that will appear in our non-chronological report.@FallaParkSchool @Miss_Carr_Falla @Miss__McVeigh pic.twitter.com/22x8wOCVHn

Year 6 started their English unit by practicing their skimming and scanning technique. We’ve learnt some tricks including looking for capital letters for proper nouns!@FallaParkSchool @Miss_Carr_Falla @Miss__McVeigh pic.twitter.com/gZ2Ji2Hd8f

A big thank you to Tracey who joined us in school during the first week to show us some HulaHooping skills! We loved learning the tricks and have played some games using the hoops on the yard too!@FallaParkSchool @Miss_Carr_Falla pic.twitter.com/R5C3jOExmW

There’s nothing more @MissDoyle_Falla loves than a Year 6 Pie Chart. During our first maths lessons, we thought better way to show off to her than creating a pie chart to show our birthdays.@FallaParkSchool @Miss_Carr_Falla pic.twitter.com/JQXBa8k10E
