Week 3: Myths and Legends

Last week seemed unusually quiet on the Blog- perhaps you were too busy with Bikeability and attending the Poetry workshop? Well done Year 6 cyclists; the trainers were very impressed with your behaviour and positive attitude throughout the course.
This week we will be continuing to learn about Greek myths and legends and finding out about famous Greeks eg Homer. (No, not Homer Simpson!) Who was he ? What do we know about him? What is he famous for?
The new music for Maypole dancing has finally arrived so we will be testing it out before our May Day assembly on Friday. Congratulations to our May King and Queen, Callum and Annina!
Don't forget to leave a comment on our shared Blog with Ravensthorpe School.

Hello everyone
I hope you are all working very hard. We are having a lovely time, my group has been climbing on the wall and into the woods with the archery. We are just getting ready to go for our evening meal

I found out that to the classical greeks, Homer's epics played very much the same role that the Bible plays for a lot of people today.

Well what Wonderful Writing I have read regarding homework! My opinion on homework is simple. I believe that the homework you already have is sufficient. You need some homework to prepare you for Year 7 and beyond, however I would not like to increase the amount of homework as children need to be children too at home and spend 'quality time' with their parents.
I would like to think most of you would read for pleasure anyway and would being doing mathematical activities in day to day tasks- helping with cooking, measuring things, shopping etc.
Keep up the great writing and be ready to show how great you all are in reading, writing and maths in the SATs tests coming up. Go for it!
