London 2017, by Mrs Fletcher
Date: 4th Mar 2017 @ 1:02pm
Carla, Keira, Gracie , Sara and Molly went to London with 51 other children from local primary schools. The purpose of the visit was for members of school parliaments to visit the Palace of Westminster to find out more about how parliament works. The girls had a great time seeing the sights of London including Downing Street and Buckingham Palace. On our tour of Westminster the girls went into the queens robing room, the House of Lords and the House of Commons. They also took part in a workshop called Ypur Voice. They will be sharing more of their day in an assembly .

DT Project: Vehicles, by Mr Coxhead
Date: 12th Jan 2017 @ 4:22pm
Over the next 6 weeks or so, Year 6 will be doing DT on a Wednesday afternoon. Our project will be all about creating vehicles. To begin, each child will develop their woodwork skills (using a variety of tools) and create a model aeroplane. They will then learn how motors can be used to things move before designing and making their own motorised toy vehicle.
To start off this week, Year 6 each began making an aeroplane for Superman (who has forgotten how to fly). I expect they will finish these next week!

Her books are proving very popular amongst the class - it's great to see so many of our pupils reading them this week.
Year 6 Class Assembly, by Mr Coxhead
Date: 28th Oct 2016 @ 10:02am
Year 6 finished the first half-term on a high this morning with a fantastic class assembly performance! They feel extremely proud of themselves after the performance and so they should!
A few snapshots can be seen below.
We've also added the video clip from the opening segment of the assembly. The curtains opened to reveal an empty stage with a live broadcast projected on to the screen from our pretend class 'CCTV cameras' - see video. When the class arrived on the stage, they realised they had forgotten the script. Connor volunteered to go back and collect it (which is why he appears again at the end of the video clip).
We wish everyone a happy and safe half-term! See you all in early November to continue the great start to our year.

Cereal Box Marble Runs, by Mr Coxhead
Date: 12th Oct 2016 @ 6:00pm
Following our lesson about structures in D&T last week, the children completed a guided task this afternoon to make marble runs from cereal boxes!
Next week, each child will design and begin to create a marble run in a group. They have been encouraged to start collecting anything they feel would be useful for their marble run. These items can be brought to school next week.
