For this term's DT unit 'Great British Dishes', we will be learning about and cooking a range of national dishes. During the weeks where we will not be cooking in school, the children are being asked to safely follow a recipe at home with their families and share the meal they produce…

Our story this week has been about 10 gingerbread men who disappear. We have counted from 10-0 and from 5-0. 
Mrs Todd Bryce helped us to make our own gingerbread. It was very tasty.

Today in PSHE, Mrs Ventress set us the challenge to build a bridge which spans 30cm and could hold the weight of a toy car. Our aim was to use negotiation and compromise to work together efficiently to complete the task. Afterwards, not only did we test the bridges, but we evaluated our efforts at…

Today, we have started to learn about electricity. We looked at the components that make up a simple circuit and used them to light up a bulb. We have also discussed and recorded in a Venn diagram which appliances use mains electricity and which use batteries.

We have been using Base 10 and place value counters to help us multiply 2 digit numbers. Using this apparatus meant we could see when exchanges needed to be made. 

We have been looking at the repetition of stories and we have been really enjoying retelling, ‘The Little Red Hen’. We have been acting out as the different characters and using different voices and expression.

In geography have been learning about the physical and human features of different countries.  In pairs we chose a country and researched it using books and the internet. We had to show the flag of each country as well.  We presented our information for a display.

After designing our cards, we then made our pop up/sliding Christmas cards carefully using our designs. We were really pleased with how they turned out and evaluated. We thought if we were to make these again, what would we do differently? 

We had lots of fun at our Christmas

We spotted lots of different houses on our walk e.g detached, bungalows, semi-detached and flats. We spotted Lancaster Castle and explored our local church, St Paul’s. We spotted the date 1925 on the Parish Hall opposite the church.

We investigated pop up toys and sliders in books before we thought of which moving part we were going to choose for our Christmas card design.

Year 6 have really enjoyed our worship and assemblies so far this week!

On Monday we listened to some very talented children from different classes across the school perform pieces on the instruments they have been learning within school, and then on Tuesday we had the pleasure of listening and…
