  DT - Mechanisms

  Posted by Mrs N Lawday

  This afternoon, year 6 looked at various items and decided whether they were mechanisms or not. If they were, then they tried to explain how and why they were mechanisms. For example - how is a bike a mechanism or what makes an umbrella a mechanism?

  Year 6 performed their dance to the year 2's today! They were amazing especially considering they only really had a few sessions to pull it together! Year 6 - you rock!

  Art - Lino printing

  Posted by Mrs N Lawday

  These turned out so well and the children enjoyed making them - even if they did take a long time to get finished! They used the rollers to spread the ink onto their Lino and then used them to create repeated patterns in their art books.

  Parent Event - SATs Pub Quiz!

  Posted by Mrs N Lawday

  Well what an afternoon we had today! Thank you to all the parents that came to support their children and try their luck at winning our SATs pub quiz. We had maths rounds, a SPaG round and a picture round amongst others and the year 6's and their parents did very well! Our winning team only dropped one point so well done to 'The Sausages' for their mammoth effort today.

  PSHE

  Posted by Miss L Heward

  This week Year 6 explored the topic of exploitation. We heard a fictional story of how a child may have got involved in a gang taking part in criminal activity. Our main take away point from the session was to always ask your trusted adult for help if you find yourself in danger/trouble. Even if we may get in trouble to start with, our trusted adults will want to help and support us to remove ourselves from dangerous situations.

  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.

  PSHE

  Posted by Miss L Heward

  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?
