  Science week!

  Posted by Miss L Heward

  This week in Science we have explored how wing shape will effect flight! First we looked at how planes fly and then used this to create multiple paper airplanes. We then tested these in the playground, the wind was not on our side. Once back in the classroom we talked about how we might modify our designs to improve their flight paths.

  This term we have started our new topic of healthy me. We began by looking at responsibilities and thinking about things we may already be responsible for. Although we knew that our parents/guardians are legally responsible for us until 18, it was good to see Year 6 suggest some things that they consider themselves responsible for or can see themselves taking some ownership of, such as exercise, physical health and hobbies.

  Art - Lino printing

  Posted by Mrs N Lawday

  Having been inspired by the artist Banksy, year 6 will be doing some lino printing using their own designs about things that are important to them in the style of the artist. Today, we continued to create the lino using a special tool to cut away the parts of the lino that they didn't want printing.

  History

  Posted by Mrs N Lawday

  Today, children were using sources of information to find out more about Henry VIII. They were looking in particularly at what the sources told us and whether they could be relied upon and why?

  A huge thank you to year 6 for their amazing efforts on raising £220 for their chosen charities with a cake sale and raffle! They really tuned into what they could do for the wider world and showed a huge amount of care over the whole of the term to plan and execute this charity fundraiser and should feel really proud.

  English - oracy

  Posted by Mrs N Lawday

  Welcome back to Term 4! Today in English we started a new unit on 'Suffragette: The Battle for Equality' As part of understanding how it felt not to be part of a democracy, half the class were tasked with making up some laws that would only benefit their group. The other half were explaining why this was unfair and using a banner they made to help them.

  English - Macbeth Newspaper Report

  Posted by Mrs N Lawday

  Year 6 have been writing a newspaper report after the death of King Duncan at Macbeth's castle. To help with editing their work, we managed to dodge the rain and they read their work to each other and provided some constructive criticism.

  Art - Banksy

  Posted by Mrs N Lawday

  Today year 6 found out about Banksy. Banksy is an extremely famous but anonymous British graffiti artist. He keeps his identity a secret and expresses his political opinions using street art. Although a lot of his art is produced in public places, he usually only reveals his after it has appeared on his social media. A lot of his art is done in a particular style which people can easily recognise. Year 6 will be producing Lino prints in the style of Banksy so watch this space!
