A poem through the eyes and thoughts of someone else.
Tragic Coma
I’m trying to wake up
I’m trying to be free
But what I’m trying
They don’t see
I’m stuck
I’m listening to people swallow the pain
I’m listening to sighs
But what I’m listening to
Makes me feel worse inside
I’m stuck
The way their moving me, up and down
Makes me feel disrespected
I just want to sit up and frown
But I can’t
I’m stuck
Suddenly, my body felt like I was emerging from water
I could feel sweat dripping down my face
Even though I was freezing cold
My body felt loose
I could open my eyes, I was out of the coma
I could move my arms around
Then I realised, I was still stuck
But this time
Six feet underground
By Abbie
Here are the children who have
completed a quiz this week:

Haamid has been very busy with his home learning these past few weeks, well done Haamid.
Cara has been busy completing her Fraction work whilst she has been in Lock-down. As I can she she is doing a very good job, well done Cara.
Year 6 have been very busy reading their books.
Year 6 have been reading the book Air Raid by Jean May. When they have finished reading the book the children are writing reviews.
Air raid book review by Tien:
This was a fiction book but it was based on real events that do happen. It was about 2 boys called Jack and Harry, they find this dog called Raf and go to rescue him but then the alarm goes off. They get Raf out and run but get told off by a fire fighter and then the old church falls over. As they went on, they came across an old pub, they go in but then the walls fall down and block the entrance. They manage to escape but not in a good place, they ended up by the bomb. Harry, Jack and Raf wake up and are rescued by old tin hat and the captain after they are rescued, the bomb disposal come and take the bomb away.

Resources for Science Topic
21/04/2020
Hi Year 6, hope you are all keeping well and are all safe.
I am now keeping myself busy with lots of work and filling in your transition forms for your senior schools telling them how naughty you all are (just kidding, your all fantastic). I will soon be filling in all your school reports too so that will keep me very busy.
Now I am going to set you your new topic challenges over the next few days. The first one is as follows:
Key Questions: Science Focus
Where did our footprints begin?
What came first, the chicken or the egg?
I would like you to investigate what evolution is.
|
Research what evolution scientists believe? What are the similarities and differences? Do they all agree? |
Also what can you find out about 'Who you are', consider the following:
|
Who am I? Where am I from? What is my culture? What is my heritage? |
You can present your findings by:
Creating a model
presentation
report
poster
or any other way that you think you can show your learning.
You can share them through BGFL365 or by email. If you would like, we can then share your projects via the class page.
I look forward to seeing them.

Y6 have been creating anti bullying posters.
Y6 reveal their new book for reading for pleasure. 'The Boy At The Back Of the Class' by Onjali Rauf (Author).Told with heart and humour, The Boy at the Back of the Class is a child's perspective on the refugee crisis, highlighting the importance of friendship and kindness in a world that doesn't always make sense. There used to be an empty chair at the back of my class, but now a new boy called Ahmet is sitting in it. He's nine years old (just like me), but he's very strange. He never talks and never smiles and doesn't like sweets - not even lemon sherbets, which are my favourite! But then I learned the truth: Ahmet really isn't very strange at all. He's a refugee who's run away from a War. A real one. With bombs and fires and bullies that hurt people. And the more I find out about him, the more I want to help. That's where my best friends Josie, Michael and Tom come in. Because you see, together we've come up with a plan. . .
Y6 have been enjoying their PE sessions, learning gymnastics with Miss Hough
Word Mania round 1 has now ended, we now await the final round (12th to the 14th November). Check out below to find out how they are getting on.
Y6 Have been to the cinema at Resorts World to watch a film about Global Warming. For some of us it was our first time watching a 3D movie, we had fun trying to reach out to the wonderful creatures of the deep.It left us feeling emotional, knowing that these creatures are at risk of extinction if we do not change our ways.
Year 6 have entered the Word Mania competition. Look at the score board below to see how they are doing.
Y6 have been to the Vue Cinema at Star City to see the film '2040'. The film is about practical solutions to environmental concerns which are addressed with the hope that the filmmaker's daughter, 21 years old in the year 2040, will face a hopeful future.
Year 6 have been really excited today about their new class story book that has been revealed. The story 'The Middler' by Author Kirsty Applebaum is about a girl called Maggie who is a middle child overlooked and unheard. Beyond her town's boundary the quiet war rages and the dirty, dangerous wanderers roam. We can not wait to find out how it all ends.

Year 6 have been reading 'Oliver Twist' in guided reading.
Year 6 have had a visit from Urban Devotion to talk about gangs and knife crime. They explored the reasons why people get involved with these activities. Furthermore, the children discovered the impact of these behaviours and how they can make positive choices when faced with challenging circumstances.
Year 6 Educational Visit
When we visited the Black Country Museum we stepped back in time to dicover what it was like for children in a Victorian school. We are going to use our experience and our further research to compare the modern day classroom with the Victorian one.
Y6 have enjoyed an assembly by Fizz Pop Science today. Aiza and Hanna got to take part in the experiments.
Year 6 have enjoyed a visit from Carol Lyndon who introduced them to the school punishment book dated back to the early 1920s onwards. The children investigated the different types of punishments given now compared to the early 1920-70s. Year 6 will be taking part in a project with Carol where they will be displaying their work in an exhibition in Birmingham City Centre later on next year.
Year 6 visited Whitemoor Lakes before the summer holidays to get to know their new teacher. Whilst there we did lots of team building and trust exercises.
