Year 6

Today class class 14 were lucky enough to meet the author Tom Palmer! 

Tom came into school to inspire children to read and maybe even become a famous author themselves. Tom told the children about his journey to becoming an author and how he had to really believe in himself and be resilient…

This week in RE class 14 have been exploring the 5 k’s of Sikhism. 

They looked at real artefacts and researched using books to discover what each one was named. 

This week in science as part of our circulatory system topic class 14 have dissected hearts. 

The children have absolutely loved investigating the different chambers, valves and vessels in the hearts with real life specimens! 

Today class 16 have learnt about perspective in landscapes and how to achieve them. 

They enjoyed working together first then independently to create their own landscape ready for our war time landscape in the coming weeks.

In science this week, years 5 and 6 have been dissecting a sheep’s heart. 

We then looked at the difference arteries, ventricles and chambers.

In our first PSHE lesson, class 16 looked at different drugs, they researched in groups and presented information to the rest of the class. 

This week in PSHE, class 14 have been researching the dangers and effects of drugs. 

They then presented this information back to their peers.

Class 14 discussed and ranked their personal values.

Then using their linguistic skills they debated which were most important as a group. 

This week class 14 have been debating whether the scientists Galen or Harvey’s theory about the circulatory system was correct.

They used sentence stems to help them structure their ideas.

This term, class 15 have been learning all about how the internet works and about how children can keep themselves safe, here are some examples of their finished work.

In ICT club this week we learnt how to make our own digital pet.

If the timer reached 20, our pet showed a sad face on the LED display and made a sad sound on the built-in speaker outputs.

If it reached 30, our pet fell asleep.

Well done everyone!

We thoroughly enjoyed attending the Windrush Legacy Workshops developed by the Jamaica Society Leeds.  

Ansell delivered a very interesting workshop involving stories regarding the Windrush Generation.  

We also created our own dances with help from Ansell.
