    Computing - Systems and networks

    Posted by Mrs N Lawday
    Year 6 made their own power points today about a country in South America. They worked in groups using a shared file. We then talked about how sharing information online can help people to work together. Well done to Theo, Charlotte and Tosia who produced the best power point by working together well.

    PSHE - Being me in my world

    Posted by Mrs N Lawday
    Year 6 were looking at understanding that their actions can affect other people locally and globally. They also looked at understanding that their wants are different to their needs. We followed this up by looking at Maslow's triangle hierarchy of humans needs.

    Today, year 6 combined and linked a number of movement phrases and patterns together. They were able to perform these dance phrases using a range of movements based on parkour. They are starting to tell their story within their movements.

    Computing - Systems and networks

    Posted by Mrs N Lawday
    Year 6 were introduced to the concept of packets. They complete an activity based on transferring an image across the internet, to see that as well as messages (text), other types of data (images, video, and audio) are also transferred over the internet. They gained an understanding of the key parts of a packet: the header and the data payload.

    As part of our geography, year 6 have been writing non chronological reports about the Amazon Rainforest. They have discovered some great facts about the rainforest including how big it is; how many countries it goes into and the animals and plants that live there.

    OPAL parent stay and play!

    Posted by Mrs N Lawday
    Today, the whole school held an OPAL stay and play event! The children were very excited to show their parents all the tings they have been getting up to during their outdoor play at break times and lunch times. We had over 100 parents that came to join their children in making dens, swinging on rope swings and dressing up! The children loved it and it looked like the parents had a great time reverting to childhood too! The weather was very kind to us too! Thank you to all the year 6 parents who came along to enjoy the event with your children.

    Music - Can I recognise the indicators of soft rock?

    Posted by Miss L Heward
    This week we started by appraising and comparing another song to 'Happy' and thinking about the similarities and differences. We then went on the learn some instrumental parts to 'Happy' using the glockenspiels. We first practiced the notes we would be using without the music and then put our singing and instrumental pieces together. The whole hallway was treated to a musical extravaganza!

    Science - Can select variables to change when conducting a fair test on yeast?

    Posted by Miss L Heward
    This week year 6 helped me set up an experiment to test the conditions that yeast thrives in. We selected the independent variable as 'temperature of water' and made sure all the other variables were unchanged such as, amount of yeast etc. Year 6 observed the changes that happened overnight and we recorded these on a class report.

    DT - Mechanisms

    Posted by Mrs N Lawday
    Year 6 looked at cams today and how they change rotary motion into linear motion. They looked at the different sorts of cams available and how the movement of the follower would change because of this. They even designed their own cams.

    PE - Dance

    Posted by Mrs N Lawday
    Year 6 started their dance unit today. We are using the dance version music of 'Titanium' (which is the music video we are looking at in our English lessons too) and we will be using parkour to choreograph a parkour inspired dance. Today, we started designing our initial tags like graffiti artists use - there were some brilliant ideas amongst them and I'm looking forward to seeing where our dance takes us!
