Year 6 ERUPT! - March 2015, by Mr Booth

Date: 2nd Apr 2015 @ 12:27pm

In Year 6 we have been learning all about volcanoes; how they are formed, the different types of volcano, how they erupt and the devastating consequences that they create when they do.

As part of this project, the Year 6 pupils decided that they would like to create their very own active volcanoes! The children worked in groups to design, create and put their teamwork and artistic skills together to produce a realistic 3D volcano. Then we planned science experiments using mentos, lemonade, bicarbonate of soda, vinegar and washing up liquid to create a dramatic eruption!

Look at our pictures  to see the final product - we were all very impressed and enjoyed making the volcanoes!

The Solar Eclipse- Nursery - March 2015, by Miss Crabtree

Date: 25th Mar 2015 @ 2:48pm

The children were very interested in the eclipse. We used Google to research information about it and learnt that a solar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes between the Earth and the Sun.

We went outside to see it but we were not allowed to look at the sun in case it damaged our eyes but when the clouds passed over it we were allowed to look. It went very dark outside!

World Book Day in Nursery - March 2015, by Miss Crabtree

Date: 5th Mar 2015 @ 3:53pm

The children had a wonderful day celebrating World Book Day.  There were some fantastic costumes and characters from books such as Sleeping Beauty, The Very hungry Caterpillar, The Tiger That Came To Tea, Harry and His Bucketful of Dinosuars and many more.

Well done to Asha who won the best costume from Nursery.  She dressed up as a caterpillar from The Very Hungry Caterpillar and made her costume at home with her mum.  Asha won a £5.00 book token.  We think she looked fantastic.

Please remember to share books and stories at home as not only is it great fun but will help your child to learn new language, new experiences and develops their imagination ready for writing.

Year 6 'Haka' dance lesson - Feb 2015, by Mrs Molloy

Date: 27th Feb 2015 @ 3:50pm

Our first dance lesson this half term involved looking at 'The Haka'.

The Haka is a war dance invented by the Maori tribe in New Zealand.

It was performed to scare their enemies, to help get them ‘psyched up’ for battle and make them feel like a team.

Now the New Zealand rugby team, the ‘All Blacks’ perform it before each of their games to try and put off their opponents!

Look at our scary faces...!

Year 6 Visit London - Dec 2014, by Mr Booth

Date: 19th Jan 2015 @ 4:16pm

In December the Year 6 children  had a wonderful time in London learning all about the capital city of England. Work completed in class prior to the visit was built upon during our amazing visit. The children had the chance to visit 'The Magical World of Harry Potter' before they arrived in London. Once there, they had a tour of Parliament, a boat ride on the River Thames and even had time to have a (very wet) journey on the London Eye!

Take a look at some of the pictures...
