In our history this half-term, we have been learning about the amazing Maya civilisation and this week we have been investigating primary sources and artefacts. Today we tried to trick our classmates in a game of Call My Bluff! Each group was given an artefact to investigate and had to write…

Today we painted our clay tiles. Each symbol we used means something personal to us as individuals.

Year 6 have worked so hard this term during our Bounce Forward lessons, run by Sharon from Lancashire Mind! For our final session, we explained our learning through a performance, using our new resilience training to memorise lines and speak, dance and sing in front of an audience!

Yesterday Miss Huddleston came to teach us how to make the pots from clay. We used coils to create the sides and slip to join the coils together. When the pots are dry we will add our designs. We had a…

Our final task was to evaluate our pizzas.  We thought about what had gone well and any bits we would change if we made our pizzas again.

Justine was so generous to come in and work with the children who attend 'Fencing Club', providing them with a very rare opportunity of not only receiving advice from a Paralympic champion, but to…

Today in Science we have planned and carried out our own investigations. 
Using balls as rocks we tested whether larger rocks created larger craters. 
Some of us chose to investigate whether the height the rock (ball) fell from changed the crater size. 

In RE we have been investigating the Christmas story.  We drew pictures of all the things and people we thought might have been at the first Christmas. We then investigated the Bible sources in the gospels of Matthew and Luke.
 

Can you work out which things from our list were mentioned in the…
