On Friday 23rd March, Year 6 welcomed Paul and his colleague to school where they turned our classrooms into an Animal Adaptation game show; if David Attenborough did panto, that show would have been it! Classes competed with each other, thinking like scientists exploring a variety of ways in which animals adapt to their environments. Following that,… More
At the end of last term we had a fascinating trip to the Hancock museum, in Newcastle, to end our topic on the heart.

Therefore, we are looking for the most creative,… More
Our main science topic is ‘ The circle of Life’ and we began our investigations by looking at the components that make blood. We studied the function and percentage of each component and then used cheerios, marshmallows, oats and food colouring to make our own blood!

We studied propaganda posters as part of our WW2 project and decided to use some of the designs we had researched to make our own posters for anti-bullying week.
Year 6 all had a fantastic time at our Spooky Halloween Extravaganza.
The Year 6 challenge for STEM week was to create a moving vehicle using either elastic bands or balloons. We were all amazed at the resourcefulness and resilience demonstrated by the children in Atlantis and Neptune and have no doubt that there are some budding scientists and engineers in our midst.
We can’t believe we have only been in Year 6 for four weeks! The children have been excellent and we have been so busy in every single subject… Literacy has been one of our favourites as we started our class novel ‘Holes’ and earlier this week we entered Camp Green Lake… More
