Learning Project – My Time at Primary School

Year 6 leavers video. Think about one adjective that describes you as a person… respectful, kind, funny, caring, chatty, friendly etc. Write this in a sentence ‘I am …’ in strong, bright colours on an A4 piece of paper and take a photo of yourself holding it. Make sure we can read the word. During Term 6, I had planned to run a project with you all called ‘My Time at Primary School’. When I was in Year 6, I was set homework by my teacher to create a scrapbook of memories from Primary School. This book is the one of the things I’ve kept from Primary School and is a fantastic reminder. We will focus on a section each week and build up a memory book of your time at Primary School. This should not be rushed: take pride in presentation because this is something you can keep for years and years. Think about what you will need to include on each page/ section of your memory book. In my book, I have a piece of writing with different memories, a school photograph, a piece of work I’d kept and my school report. You will all have different things you’ve kept from school and may have some more ideas. Think about how you are going to display your project: scrapbook, folder and plastic wallets, a homemade book – it’s up to you. You will need a front cover – mine is a hand drawing of the school badge. Week 1 – 1st June 2020 Page 1 - Introduction. About me! Introduce yourself by writing your name and how old you are.

Page 2 – St Barnabas C of E Primary School (and another if you’ve attended different schools). Which primary school/schools did you attend? What was/is the school like? Think about key facts and information about the school: the year it opened; key features; school uniform; school rules. You may also like to think about the teachers and staff in the school. You could display this in a family tree style. Include a photograph of the school. You can get information from the website. Week 2 – 8th June 2020 Page 3 – My Time in Reception – Class Name?
