Spring 1

Week 5

After working exceptionally hard to plan, draft and re-draft their own suspense stories, Year 6 celebrated their fantastic work by having a 'spooky sleepover' where we turned the lights out and took it in turns to share our learning. As artists, we used our green hats to recreate a famous photograph of St Paul's Cathedral during the Blitz, using a range of media to create tone. We also recognised the importance of our mental health and completed a range of activities to raise the profile of this.

Week 4

As mathematicians, we looked at properties of 3D shapes and have also been looking at the area of parallelograms and triangles. Using our white hats and problem solving science lens, we created our own periscopes to demonstrate light travelling in straight lines.

Week 3

This week, children took part in an exciting Ootiboo workshop all about being responsible with money. Inspired by Why Money Matters, the children explored real-life money skills in a fun and practical way.

They took part in activities designed to help them understand:
✔️ the value of money
✔️ needs vs wants
✔️ spend vs save

Week 2

As mathematicians, we have been working collaboratively to calculate missing angles in triangles. Applying past knowledge from learning about light in Year 3, we revisited knowledge that light travels in straight lines. In PE, we are practising skills to improve our understanding of netball.

 

 

 

Week 1

As historians, we took part in a workshop this week to learn about World War 1. We had the opportunity to analyse primary and secondary sources, formulate enquiry questions and understand the cause and consequence of key events.
