Developing Our Writing
As part of our Year 6 focus, we have been looking at different sentence structures and how we can use these to improve our writing.
We are currently studying 'Goodnight Mr Tom' by Michelle Magorian, which we are all enjoying immensely.
Black History Week - Khadija Saye
For Black History Week, Year 6 focused their studies around the inspirational artist: Khadija Saye. We looked at her specialism of 'Digital Art' to represent her Gambian-British heritage and used this as a stimulus to create our own pieces.
Our brief was to capture an image that symbolised our identity as a Downderry pupil.
