Year Six

This week, the children have been investigating how adding cells to a circuit will affect the component (bulb in this case). The children also recorded how adding components would impact the brightness of the bulb in the circuit. Also, please can we all take a moment...

This week in Maths, we have been looking at negative numbers. The children went outside and drew a numberline which they could use to help answer questions. The children moved up and down the numberline to prove their answer. Also this week, Mrs Fraser led a lesson on...

This week we have launched our Science topic of Circuits. The children identified which circuit symbols represented which circuit component. They then attaempted to make a complete working circuit using a battery, wires and a component of either a bulb, buzzer or...

Here are a couple more photos from day 4 of the amazing Year 6 Residential.

We had somewhat of a lethargic start to the day today with many only just making it to breakfast. After destroying another box of Frosties and 132 loaves of bread we had the fun activity of packing and cleaning our tents. This was more work than any activity we had...

Firstly, apologies for no day three update; I was too busy pushing children off their paddleboards. Day three was a hot one! And we were on-site, down by the river and in a sun trap – the local hospital was put on alert for the burns Mr Evans would probably be...

We started the day with a big breakfast of cereal, toast and yoghurt. Children are taking it in turns in groups of 3 to prepare the dining area and clean away after the meal. Barney’s hosting skills are on fire and I will certainly go to a party he is hosting if the...

Welcome to the near year. So far the children have started their Tudor topic by looking how the Tudors came to power through the Battle of Bosworth in the War of the Roses. This week, the children analysed sources of evidence and then researched one of Henry VIII’s 6...

In the finals days before Christmas, the children explored how shadows were made and how shadows can be altered when the light source angle changes. The children also showed great nibble fingers when cross-stitching their Christmas crafts.

To complete our Diwali work, the class were very lucky to have a dance workshop. The children were put through their paces and choreographed a final dance. In Science this week we investigated how light travels. The children had to line up the small punched holes to...

The first couple of weeks back have been jam-packed. To start with, we went on a guided tour of  Northampton Town Football Club’s stadium, Sixfields. We were taken around the stadium where we got to sit in the media area, home and away changing rooms and sat in the...

On the final week of term, we were delighted to welcome Mr Singh into school. He conducted a whole-school assembly and then two workshops for Year 6 and Year 5. He talked about life as a Sikh and explained the key articles within the Sikh religion: Kesh, Kangha, Kara,...
