This week, we have been adding the second layer of printing to our Christmas cards. It was tricky to work out what colour would be best to choose next!

This week, Year 6 have been learning how to make short- crust pastry, with the help of Mrs Anderson - one of our school governors. They used their new baking skill to make mince pies to sell at the Christmas Fair.

Today was the day we have been planning and preparing for! We finally got to make our sandwiches following our own designs. We used a very wide variety of fillings and tried to create a healthy sandwich with different food groups (as we have been learning about in science). We got to use the…

In History, we have been using our inference skills to look at different photos of artefacts from the Kingdom of Benin and decide what they could be. We answered questions such as ‘What is it?’, ‘’Who would use/own it?’, ‘What is it used for?’ and ‘What is it made…

We are getting ready to make our own sandwiches. Today we practised the skills of chopping, grating and spreading. We had bags of chopped cucumber, lettuce and grated carrot to take home with us. Tasty!

We have been learning about the Kingdom of Benin and today we discussed the hierarchy of jobs. We worked with our partner to decide which jobs we thought were considered more important and which were of less importance. Then we had the answers revealed. We were surprised that acrobats were…

Today we have combined history with our computing skills to work on creating slideshows on the topic of evacuation in WW2. We used Google Classroom to work in pairs on the same slideshow, but on different Chromebooks.

Today, we began our printing project, with the final product being our Christmas cards. The first stage involves making a simple print block and choosing the ink colour for the base of our design. It was really exciting to peel back and reveal our first print!

Soon we will be designing and making our own sandwiches so today we prepared by tasting different bread options and a variety of possible fillings. Lots of us tried some foods for the very first time. We didn’t all like everything but well done everyone for giving it a try!

This morning, we were practising adding two two digit numbers with a fun activity outside. We had to add the numbers and then locate the answer around the playground. There was some great maths work going on!

As part of our history work on WW2, we have been investigating the experiences of children who were evacuated from the big cities to the countryside in September 1939. We took on the roles, and the real-life stories of evacuees, and shared them with the rest of our class. We rated the different…
