Easter School 2015

Well done to all the year 6s who attended Easter School.  We had a great week working hard and some fun at the end with a trip to 'Jungle Rumble'!

Eclipse 20.3.15

We used our pin hole cameras and a live feed on the internet to view the eclipse today:

Pin Hole Camera for the eclipse 19.3.15

Today year 6 made pin hole cameras in preparation for the eclipse tomorrow (20.3.15).  The camera will enable us to observe the eclipse without looking at the sun (which would be very dangerous).

Book making 2nd 6th March 2015

Also this week:  Year 6 have made hard-back books.  Each class member chose a story to publish.  The finished publishing has been stitched together and stuck into a home made hard cover:

French week 12.2.15

Bonjour!
This week has been French week.  In year 6 we learned: l'histoire et la cuisine (History and Cooking).
In History we found out about the Norman Conquest and in Cooking we made croissants and learned how to say what we are having for breakfast.
Très bien!

Making Croissants

Madame Cartlidge demonstrated the process:

The instructions help guide us through the making.

It took good concentration and precise work to roll the croissants accurately.  We added either chocolate or marzipan to flavour the croissants.

Final touch - make it into a crescent before baking in the oven.

The finished product!

...And of course the taste test!!!
