Class of 2018

This week we have started our printing project in art, to create our Christmas cards for this year. We used polystyrene blocks to cut out our basic design. We then used special printing ink to evenly coat our blocks before transferring the design onto paper. Watch out for more blogs showing our…

Today we have used our new badminton nets in PE. We have practised serving the shuttlecock and worked on keeping a rally going with our partner for as long as possible.

Sooty and Ruth, from Sportsreach, started our Walk through the Bible sessions this week. So far we have learnt about creation through to Isaac with actions to help us along the way.

It will be interesting to see how much we can remember as we add more actions week by week.

Year 6 were transported back in time this morning as they learnt about the secret work behind the scenes of code-breakers and spies during WW2. We learnt about the work of the aerial reconnaissance planes and the photographic interpreters back at base who checked photos for evidence of enemy…

This morning, Year 6 had their first taste of badminton. We learnt how to hold the racket, the ready position and then attempted to hit the shuttlecock and return it to our partners! We worked really well together in pairs.

Today it was the boys’ turn to go along to Lancaster and Morecambe College for their tournament. There were 25 schools represented and our team of Y6 boys worked really well as a team. They won two games in their pool, drew one and lost one, narrowly missing out on a place in the quarter finals.

This half term we have been learning all about forced in year 6. Today, we braved the rain and completed 10 puzzles hidden around school to give us 10 digits to let us escape out of our “locked in” scenario!

As well as learning how to draw people in proportion and looking at various famous artists who drew people, we have studied the work of Alberto Giacometti. He was a Swiss sculptor who became famous for creating life-sized figures, with…

Today we investigated pulleys and levers. We found that using multiple pulleys meant less work was required to lift a 1kg mass. We also found that moving a pivot on a lever  changed how much mass was required to lift an object.

Year 6s found out about Christians around the world and how tough things can be in countries where Christians are persecuted. They played a game which taught them about some of the ways Open Doors helps these Christians.

This all linked to our Worship yesterday about the British Value -…

Year 6 have been learning the classic poem, Jabberwocky by Lewis Carroll. Many of the words are nonsense words, so we spent some time thinking about what these words could mean. This morning, we ventured down to the woods to rehearse and film our own performance of Jabberwocky. In groups, we found…

Friday came all too quickly and after two activities and a final delicious lunch, we headed back to school.
