Mrs Hamilton’s Register
The children chose to do Mrs Hamilton's Register. The 5 children who performed the poem realised that Mrs Hamilton was saying the meanings of the names, and so they decided to make all of the replies have voices which matched their names, and added their own sound effects into the poem.

War!
We examined the themes of war and peace through quotes and sayings. We really liked the “funky” style of the word “Word” that features in the vocabulary webinar, so we nicked the same design for our anti-war poster. I gave out giant letter templates to spell the word “WAR” and Gladiators did a 10 minute challenge to fill their letter with the sayings and quotations they liked the most. This will eventually go up on our Reading Gladiators wall display.

Using watercolour and blending the colours turned out to be MUCH harder than it looked in Korky Paul’s demontration!

Year 6 Gladiators on Tour!
Reading Gladiators did us proud at Badminton School on Monday where we’d been invited to meet famous illustrator Korky Paul! Korky Paul was really approachable and his artwork demonstration was excellent to watch! We gathered lots of tips for our art session this week. I felt proud that our children were not at all daunted by the grandeur of the surroundings. Despite an audience of over 100 people, Grace and Piyu managed to ask Korky Paul what were arguably the most interesting questions of the session. All in all, Filton Avenue Reading Gladiators acquitted themselves with great aplomb!

1st May 2018, 7:28pm The Reading Gladiators team are proud of you, too. Well done everyone! -
